You DO Have A Green Thumb!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say “oh no, I can’t grow anything! I don’t have a green thumb.” Well, I’m here to tell you that you most certainly do! martaEveryone, and I mean everyone, has killed a plant in their gardening career. But don’t let it get you down! Just make sure you get all the information you need to know how to care for your new plant, which includes: sun requirements, watering, soil conditions, and growth habit. Next time you see your plant dying, please take a picture and bring it in! We’ll help you figure out what happened, and how to avoid it in the future.

Periwinkle Update

sallyWe are holding off on bringing in periwinkles (one of our favorite, most reliable annuals!) due to the rain patterns we have been having, and we encourage you to  stay away from them until the days get longer and drier. With rain and heavy moisture in the air, they suffer from Phytophthora, an airborne fungus, and die within days. We promise we will get them in as soon as conditions permit!!
