We know you’ve seen these beauties along the side of the road - did you know we grow Lupines and we have more than just purple?!

Lupines are stunning, cool-climate perennials in the bean family known for their tall, vibrant spires and distinctive palmate leaves. Thriving in full sun and moist, well-draining soil. They are excellent for the garden because they naturally enrich the soil through nitrogen fixation!

Welcome to our newest series, Does that Smell?

If you're anything like me, you want to smell every bloom you see, some smell great, some smell ok, some are subtle, some feel like a punch to the nostrils, and some.....stink!

So, let's have some fun with it, shall we?

We're smelling all the blooms as we see them and letting you know....Does that smell?

What are we watering?
Bubbly wine weigela is a cute little flowering shrub with a stunning variegated foliage that flowers little pink flowers in the spring.
They maintain a smaller size at just 2 to 3 feet tall and wide as opposed to some other varieties of weigela like Wine and Roses which reaches up to 5 feet.
They like full sun, well drained soil and to be pruned right after they finish flowering in the spring.
Easy maintenance, adorable option for your garden beds.

This Gorgeous EuropeanTri-color Beech tree stopped me in my tracks this morning and I thought I'd share it here.
This tree gets 28-30 feet tall and is an absolute beauty with it's variegated foliage ranging in purples, pinks, and creams that give it a rosy pink appearance from a distance that quite literally made me stop and say, "WOW!" this morning.
She's available to a loving home!

If you ask us what our favorite plant is, you'll likely get a difference answer depending on the season, the day, the moment, the millisecond, the tides, the most recent delivery.....you get the idea.

I asked the staff what their favorite plant was last Friday and this is what they had to say.

I'll ask around again and see what we get next time.
