Evening walk through the nursery 🌿
The plants are really starting to wake up and fill out now. Hydrangeas, spirea, evergreens, daylilies, and more looking good this week at Bicknell Nursery.

I always enjoy seeing folks walk through and read the bench cards so they can picture these plants in their own landscape.

One of our customers brought their little helper to Bicknell Nursery today. 🌱😊

I had never met this young man before, but he was right beside his parents carrying plants and helping out like a pro. We may have found a future Bicknell Nursery employee. 😄

Watching him work reminded me a lot of my own grandkids helping around the nursery. Those moments make all the hard work worthwhile. ❤️

Josh is checking out a Pink Diamond Hydrangea rooted cutting 🌱

This is where it all starts…

Hard to believe—but that little plant turns into the full, blooming hydrangea in the next picture 👇

That’s the fun part…
You get to grow it yourself.

Rooted Cuttings – $3 each or 3 for $8

Only have a few of these available.

If you’ve got a little patience and a shovel, you can grow something pretty special for just a few dollars.

Friday & Saturday – Bicknell Nursery

👉 Most folks don’t stop at just one…

Frost Got Your Crape Myrtles? Don’t Give Up Yet! 🌿

Take a look at this one… 👇
This is what a late frost can do to a Crape Myrtle

Looks bad, I know.

But here’s the good news…

👉 The frost usually only burns the tender new growth
👉 The roots and main plant are still alive
👉 It will push new growth back out in a couple weeks

These are tough plants — they’ve seen this before!

You can trim off the dead parts later, but most of the time they’ll come right back on their own.

That’s just Kentucky spring for you… warm one day, frost the next 😄

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Due to rising gasoline prices, a nationwide penny shortage, possible tariffs… and the increasing cost of feeding my grandkids at the Mexican restaurant…

Bicknell Nursery will be raising prices from $7.97 to $8.00.

I hated to give up that .03¢… but it finally got the best of me 😄

Still one of the best deals you’ll find anywhere for a 1-gallon plant 🌿

Come see us Friday & Saturday!

Feeling blessed today.

Got my grandkids out here at the nursery, getting their hands dirty, learning a trade, and making memories with me.

They won’t be here tomorrow, but my new partner will be—so if you’re out and about this weekend, stop by and see us. 🌱
