It always makes me feel good when I see things growing and smell the fresh soil. Sorry we haven't figured out how to 'click and sniff' but hopefully these behind the scenes videos will help you see how close Spring really is!
As much as we want to get out in the yard and start cleaning up, please think of the pollinators who are overwintering in the leaf debris. They are nesting in that "mess". Our nursery staff suggests holding off on cleaning up your beds as the pollinators would greatly appreciate you waiting for at least five consecutive days of temperatures above 50 degrees before starting your yard cleanup. They are just waking up and need their beds!
We like to think of our last frost date coinciding with the May full moon. This year we anticipate that to be around May 15, so your winter protection on trees and shrubs will likely need to remain for another few weeks.
What can you do at this time... start your seeds and prune some trees!
If you haven't registered yet, please do so by Thursday so we have plenty of seating and materials for everyone!
