Special Hours the next two Saturdays. We will be open 9am - 3pm on Saturday 7/17 and 7/24. Sales continues through mid September. We have been asked how we can offer "buy one flat, get one flat free." It is simple really. We have fresh new plants to sell, we want you to buy them. Offering them at one mix-and-match flat at a time, the more plants that go your home and garden. (offer not good not on Cyps.).
Remember, 7/17 and 7/24 we will be open only 9am - 3pm with the full sale in price. See you soon.

June is perennial gardening month. The 2010 Perennial Plant of the Year is Baptisia australius or Wild Blue Indigo. In addition, we have a large selection of other Indigo species including, White, Cream, and Large Yellow. Indigos command a presence in the garden and can take an almost shrub-like form.
Starting in July, we will begin our summer schedule of only Saturdays 9 to 5. In addion, we will begin our summer sale. Buy one flat - get one flat free. WOW!
See you soon.

We will open for the season on Saturday, April 17. The wasm spring has produced some lovely blossoms. The Viriginia Bluebells are in full bloom and looking gorgeous. (I think I need to work some more into my shade gardens.) The bees have been working them prety heavily. In addition, prairie smoke is starting to bloom and the pasque flowers are in bloom (in the garden).
This year we will have our first seed-produced trilliums. It has taken 5 years to get sellable trilliums, but should be worth the wait. Some of the transplants have buds - WOW! One thing I noticed today while prepping the retail house today, is that the trillums actually track the sun. So, in the morning, the trilliums we facing east and by afternoon they were facing west. How cool.
The Cyprepediums (Large Yellow and Small Yellow Ladyslippers) have been nursery grown another year meaning the plants will be bigger and more spectular. We decided to grow all the transplants another year; good for you and good for the plants. Wayne mentioned that one ladyslipper had six shoots - that plant will definately bloom in the container.
Cypripediums are purchased from Spangle Creek Labs as seedlings. We grow the seedlings for three growing seasons before they are available for sale. So, while they are not all blooming size, there is a lot of love, care and attention given to your ladyslipper.
New plants every week. See you soon!
