Are you and your garden ready for April?

April 2022

Spring has arrived!

Ahhh...Spring has sprung and our Colorado weather is, as usual this time of year, bouncing back and forth between 20 and 70 degrees.

We are receiving truckloads of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals on a daily basis. Our greenhouses are alive and full which keeps us busy with watering and caring for thousands of recently planted hanging baskets and patio pots. We are also loaded with garden and unique gift items including (but not limited to) bird houses, baths, and feeders, plant pottery, statues, benches, garden tools and supplies, and fountains.

REMINDER, April is THE month to get your lawn in order and we have lots of fertilizer and grass seed on hand to help you out with that. In addition, our delivery and planting crews will be mobilizing this month and are ready to help you enhance your property with fresh new trees and shrubs.

Spring / Summer Hours:

Monday - Friday 8-6

Saturday 8-5

Sunday 9-4

What's happening at PLN this month?

Garden Thymes with Jackie

"I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth?" - Edward Giobbi

Let's get your landscape ready for a fresh new season!

General Landscaping

Your landscape plants are beginning to push so it's extremely important to pay close attention and make sure you are meeting their water needs.
Keep up general maintenance such as tool preparation, bed clean up, pruning out damaged branches, soil improvement, and don't forget your garden exercises!

Shrubs & Trees

Remove tree wrap and deep root water your trees.
Cut back mid-late summer flowering shrubs such as Potentilla, Russian Sage, and Spirea's.
In late April prune roses back 18" above ground level, remove dead canes, pull the mulch back a few inches from the plants, and gently work rose formulated fertilizer into the ground taking care not to damage surface roots.

Veggies & Herbs

Start warm season vegetable seeds indoors such as tomatoes, peppers, or eggplant.
Plant cool season vegetables in your outdoor beds, just make sure to protect them if we get a hard freeze.

Annuals & Perennials

Clean your annual flower boxes and containers in preparation for summer color.
Start planting perennials and bare-root plants in your gardens!
In mature beds, it's time to divide fall & summer blooming perennials for
better blooms this summer.
