Garden Corner

Just a quick heads up for those of you who are trying to get a jump on the holiday season;
Poinsettias are here! We have various sizes and colors and enough for all of the holidays.  Another nice addition to holiday decorating are conical rosemary trees.  They look great, handle cold and hot weather and smell terrific.  The scent of rosemary at the front door is inviting and appetizing for the family get togethers all through the seasons.  Mention the website and we'll sell you a $44 rosemary for $35! 
As I wrote last week, we're loaded with Pansies, Cabbage, Kale and the beautiful winter flowers that cover the nursery, and will soon be covering gardens of North Texas.  We have 32 different varieties and colors of pansies available from our local growing grounds.  Add to that fourteen violas, snapdragons, dianthus and cabbage and kale, we have everything you need to color your yard. 

Here's your reminder to get your tulip bulbs as soon as you can DON'T WAIT!  Get the colors you want now, chill them for a few weeks and plant in December to get the best results in early spring.  Color selection will dwindle as the fall progresses, so make sure you get the ones you want.
In the interior gardens, we have pots, wind chimes, thanksgiving and Christmas decorations along with statuary and fountains.  Look in the garden accents section of this website for the latest pictures of our interior gardens.

GO GREEN!!!

In order to keep some plastic out of our landfills and reuse what we can, we are starting an empty flat buyback program.  We'll offer a 5 cent credit per flat for each empty flat you bring back to us.  We can't use the individual 4" pots, but the empty flats themselves are easily reusable. 

A second program we've started is a Colorstar fertilizer refill program.  If you bring back your empty 2, 4 or 11 lb colorstar fertilizer jars, we'll refill them and give you a 20% discount off of the new jar price.
