Fabulous Fothergilla!


What a great plant Fothergilla is! Also know as Witch Alder, Fothergilla is a native plant that does well in a mixed shrub border, in a foundation planting or in mass groupings in the residential landscape. The variety pictured here is called 'Blue Shadow', or Fothergilla major 'Blue Shadow'. Its honey-scented, cute white flowers come out in mid-to late April atop bluish-green leaves. This rounded, multi-stemmed shrub turns a stunning colors of red, orange and yellow in the Fall and lasts for weeks. Ultimately topping out at 3 - 5' high by 4 - 5' wide, it is an excellent addition to the home landscape!!

Recycle!!!


Earth Day is coming up on Thursday, the 22nd of April!! We are running some cool specials on earth friendly products this week...so come check it out.

On a recycling note, we are super pscyhed to be able to offer plastic pot and plastic tray recycling on an 'official' basis. Instead of accepting pots and trays and trying to reuse them here at the nursery, now these used pots and trays will go to an actual recycler and be re-made into new pots and trays!! Hooray!!

Come find our new green bin in the parking lot and leave your plastics here. We will do the rest. Thank You!!
