In the heady months of summer as we see all of our planning and efforts really come into full flower, it is important to stop and assess what is working, what is not, and where new potential exists. Stop and take photos of your garden from all angles! Which plant combinations do you love? What didn’t quite work out the way you had hoped/planned? Appreciate the ever-evolving nature of your garden from year to year, season to season.
Celebrate the successes. Evaluate the problem areas. And pull out the pictures of your garden in full bloom in the cold grey months of winter as you dream and make plans for spring!

Pictured above is this week's plant of the week, Seven Son Flower. This tree blooms in late summer/early fall and is just starting to share the delightful scent of its white flowers on the nursery lot! Stop in and enjoy today!
Mums the word! Refresh your planters and entryways with beautiful, Countryside Home Grown Mums!
Bright Fall colors are starting to pop. Fresh annuals are in bloom throughout the greenhouses.

Now is the time to spruce things up with fresh fall plantings!

Gardening Tip: Arborvitae, White Pine, and Yews all benefit from an application of evergreen granular fertilizer such as Holly Tone or Evergreen Food. Do NOT fertilize Boxwood or Spruce!
