Spring has always been described as a time of rebirth, renewal, or another chance to start afresh! But we gardeners know, that while indeed, spring is all of that, it’s so much more! For us, it’s a time of reconnecting with our gardens that have been quiet since the end of fall.
There is nothing quite so special as discovering our hellebores, that had fallen quiet, now bursting in colorful blooms once again. Or that moment as you are walking in the garden catching a waft of the sweet fragrance of the hyacinth bloom. Or seeing new buds on branches that have been bare for what seems to be an eternity. It is almost a reunion of old friends! For us, it’s a time of great joy!
Yes, we are! If you haven’t been by, come on over and say hello! Our team is busy at work, getting the nursery ready for another amazing year! Trucks are arriving with beautiful evergreens that will add so much dimension to your landscape! And everyone wants to know when the vines, the annuals, and the veg will arrive…and the answer is mid April. We’ve had so many calls asking when is it truly safe to plant those annuals and the answer is it’s probably best to wait til mid May, when the last chance of frost has finally passed.
We are working our way through calls to those of you who put your name on the ‘wish list’ last season…if you are looking for a specific fruit tree, NOW is the time to get it. You can come select your tree, pay for it, and leave it in our care in our greenhouses and come get it once the last chance of freeze has passed, in mid May.
