Blowout Sale at Garden District

It's that time of year again that we clear the store out to make way for our Christmas Trees which will be arriving soon, well at the end of the month.

All perennials, trees and shrubs are 60% off or more.

Fall is the best time to garden and now the best time to save too. This is the time of year you'll get a Japanese Maple at 2/3rds the cost! Or get a great deal on 11 shrubs you've been wanting as one customer did on Saturday. He took every single Burning Bush we had. He did it right and he'll have spectacular fall color this year and years to come.

Here's why I like to plant in fall:
1) The weather is cool. The newly planted will be at less risk to drought and harsh hot summer conditions.

2) You can get a head start on spring. What you plant now will come back next year already established with a strong root system for good growth.

3) It's also a good time to get to know your garden. While planting in fall you can tackle other projects such as dividing and moving perennials, and mulching.

Tip to remember for fall gardening:
Never walk on damp soil. It compacts the soil even more.... however, on damp rainy days it is a good time to do your fall fertilizing.

And today I remember. It's Veterans Day. I don't exactly get to take the day off, but I can dedicate this day in some way to my grandparents that served in the Army. You are remembered, I miss you and thank you.
