Shrink your lawn to just what you may need for children and dogs. Then, treat it carefully to keep said children and dogs from toxic lawn chemicals. That means, organic chemicals only.
Pretty fun pictures to help you recognize the difference. Some say the ragweed looks like marigold leaves.
Fall is the very best time to plant. Better than spring, according to recent research.We will continue to be open six days a week this Fall. 👏🏻 Our nursery will remain open for retail shopping through October 31st. 🍂 Let the cool weather planting begin! 🪴

Now in stock! And, in case you missed it last time, here’s the info on Sand Coreopsis 🌼

Looking for a flower that does well in dry sandy soils? Sand Coreopsis is a popular plant for gardeners in our area, with good reason. These flowers flourish in dry sandy soils & will do well in most well-drained areas. They are considered a butterfly favorite and, while the yellow blooms attract many pollinators, the seeds attract songbirds. 🦋🐝🐤
