Things are looking spooky around here with spiders, skulls, ghosts and mummies! 'Tis the season for things that go bump in the night and boo at the door. From pumpkin spice candles to ghoulish black chandeliers, no mere mortal can resist.

Meet Garland Nursery's newest addition: Bodhi! Bodhi belongs to one of our employees and he has captured everyone's hearts. He looks like a teddy bear, enjoys long walks on the beach and chewing stems of pumpkins. Fanta tolerates him but she has been seen throwing a little swat his way every once and again. She just can't handle someone cuter than her getting all the attention!

We still have a great selection of pumpkins, squash and gourds for decorating! Don't forget about the corn stalks, hay bales, mums and spooky statues. Into the weird and wacky? We've definitely got something for you.

Pictured on the top left: Redpointe maples are rising stars on the shade tree horizon. They are a heat resistant, vigorous growing, colorful choice for sustainable landscapes. They are widely known as pest and disease resistant trees that are easily maintained. Well-behaved, balanced growth eliminates the need for a lot of pruning and shaping to develop a symmetrical canopy.

The 'Sunset' maple series boasts fabulous fall color, a beautiful branching habit and an adaptability to a wide range of soils. They can be grown in full sun but prefer dappled morning or afternoon shade. A standout variety (pictured top & bottom right) 'Crimson Sunset' is highly prized for showy crimson-purple leaves and increased heat tolerance thriving where other purple-leaved plants suffer. 'Pacific Sunet' (pictured bottom left) has warm, golden-orange fall color and a more rotund growth habit.

It's a great time to plant trees, especially ones with beautiful fall color you can enjoy for weeks to come.

On Saturday, October 16th at 3:00pm, Garland's own Amy Jo will host a creative workshop in which attendees can pick their perfect pumpkin and decorate to their hearts content, taking home their very own fall masterpiece! There will be wine tasting hosted by Cardwell Hill Cellars, included in the cost of the class.

Cost: $45.00.

Pre-registration is required.

"Make sure that Bodhi knows who rules the roost around here!"
