DECEMBER GARDENING CALENDAR

It's not too late to plant! Visit us today for a wide selection of evergreen trees and shrubs which will provide year-round interest in your garden. We have an impressive display of these plants at both stores. There are still spring flowering bulbs available at both of our locations – but be sure to plant them before the ground freezes. Try planting up a few pots with bulbs or tuck some in under your larger specimen trees and shrubs for a joyful show come spring. They will brighten up your terrace or stoop in those weeks before spring annuals become available. Don't forget to pick up a bag of Bone Meal or Bulb Tone to give the bulbs a strong start.

While you are here, make an appointment for our expert gardening crew to winterize your garden. We will clean, mulch, fertilize, prune and prepare your plants for the cold weather. Continue to water your plants until the soil is too frozen to accept water. It is a good idea to spray your broadleaf evergreen plants (holly, rhododendron, euonymus, etc.) with an antidesiccant (such as Wilt Pruf) to prevent them from drying out when water is frozen in the soil and inaccessible to the plant. Let our crew handle the application, or come pick up a ready-to-use bottle at either store.

This year, try covering your winter planters with evergreen fir boughs for a decorative touch, or as an alternative to mulch. We will also have a wide variety of evergreen cedar and juniper decorations available throughout the holiday season (see 'New Arrivals' for our current selection).
