WHAT'S NEW AT THE GARDEN CENTER

The season is getting late but we're not sitting around. This week we have 3 truck loads of plants coming into the garden center. One load of trees and shrubs is on route from Oregon with an assortment of arborvitae, azaleas, rhodendrons and Japanese Maples. While another load of trees and shrubs will arrive on Friday including birches, zelcovas, flowering crabs and burning bushes. Another truck will be delivering additional green velvet boxwoods, knockout roses and other container grown shrubbery. In addition to these shipments, we have purchased some mums from an outside source. Yes, we have sold all 10,000 of our Greenscape Grown mums and must purchase some from another grower. While other garden centers have reduced their inventory, we are still stocking our nursery to bring you the best plants (even late in the season). Have you noticed that the "big box stores" have not restocked their landscape stock in over 5 months?

FROST TIPS

Do you still have some showy annuals or perennials that you don't want wasted by the frost? Or, how about those knockout roses which still have an abundant floral showing? THE KEY TO SURVIVING IN THE FROST IS SIMPLE! Lightly hose off the frost on the foliage before the sun burns the frost off. I had knockout roses still blooming last year at Thanksgiving by utilizing this simple trick.
