Beautiful Blooms! August 9, 2022
One of the most enjoyable things we experience here at Countryside is our customers sharing their gardens with us.

Above is a beautiful Bloom Struck Hydrangea from a customer's neighbors yard - hopefully she has one now too!

And here is a beautiful selection of blooms from several different hydrangeas in our customer, Regina's, landscape! This beautiful bouquet has been the highlight of the back nursery counter this week! Thanks for sharing!

The Nursery lot is full of beautiful blooming hydrangeas! It's the perfect time to choose one for its beautiful blooms.

Purple cone flowers, sunflowers, dahlias and and even shrubs are blooming beautifully!

Any good gardener can find a spot that needs more color, come see us! Between our Nursery and Greenhouse staff we will fix you right up with loads of color!

While we are loving Summer, Fall is making its appearance throughout the Flower Shop and Garden Center! Check out the fresh displays of new product in the Flower Shop and Garden Center and get inspired for the new season!
One of the questions we’ve been fielding at the Information Counter this last week is the early Fall leaves that are appearing already. While yellow leaves can be a sign of over - or under - watering, it also is an indication of general stress, which our current drought conditions are causing.
With the wet Spring, trees put on lush foliage growth and as the trees face depleted water and high heat conditions, they are channeling their resources into fewer leaves and letting the extra go earlier than usual. You may even see crisping of leaves, which is due to the long days of heat. When the tree can’t cool itself off sufficiently the leaves become scorched. While these leaves won’t grow back or recover their green lushness, it won’t harm the tree in the long run.
We always recommend providing even established trees and shrubs 1” of water per week when the temperatures are high and the rains infrequent.
We have some fantastic sales going on in the Greenhouses!
