As more homeowners re-landscape gardens, there is an increasing desire for something out of the ordinary. This is a direct departure form the traditional foundation shrubs that came to be the standard look in most front yards of the 70's and 80's.

It's important to realize that an entryway garden is normally the first impression that your visitors will have of your home. Rather than blind them with multiple colors of blooms or boring them with a sea of plain green foliage, consider something more elegant, understated and inviting.

This can be accomplished by using shrubs and perennials with white flowers or that bloom in the neutral or pastel color range, such as pale blue or yellow, light pink or lavender shades. Sticking with these color options makes designing an entryway garden simple since one doesn't need to worry about clashing colors.

We have an excellent selection of plants that will make any front yard the talk of the neighborhood. Most of these plants will make a greater impact when planting in groups of three or more.

So come down and visit us today. Our staff will be happy to help you make a great first impression with all your friends and neighbors.

If you have a perpetually damp place in your garden that has always been a problem area for you, don't despair. Quite a few plants actually enjoy having wet (cooler) feet and will perform quite well in moist or flood prone areas with poor drainage or bordering a pond or stream.

Planted right, this area can actually become a highlight of your garden, creating a unique spot with intriguing foliage and flowers. It can also become a wonderful habitat for attracting wildlife to your garden. Make sure to include a footpath or elevated walkway through the garden to provide access for easy maintenance.

We stock many plants that perform well in boggy conditions. Some of our varieties can become a bit too happy in these conditions and may need to be pruned back some after a few growing seasons--but they will more than make up for their "enthusiasm" by providing loads of color throughout the year. Stop by the nursery today and turn your trouble area into a bodacious bog garden!

Any plant or tree that loses all of its leaves and goes into a state of dormancy (sleep) periodically is considered deciduous.

Most shade trees and many fruit trees fall into this classification, along with plants like forsythia, hydrangeas, potentilla, roses, spirea, weigela and many others.
