STORE CLOSING ANNOUNCEMENT

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that after 97 years in the same location serving the residents of Menlo Park and the surrounding communities, Roger Reynolds Nursery & Carriage has closed its doors for the last time.

This has not been an easy decision. Despite all our efforts since the severe economic downturn of 2008 our business has been unable to adequately recover.

I thank the generations of loyal, faithful customers who have supported the Roger Reynolds tradition these many years. On behalf of my family and staff, I thank each and every one of you for being with us. Your patronage and support has been most valued and appreciated. Thank you!

What to do in Your Garden In August

Summer's Not Over Yet

By August most gardeners are busy on vacations or just enjoying the fruits of their spring outdoor labor. But if you are feeling the itch to squeeze some dirt between your fingers there are lots of rewarding activities, to say nothing of important tasks to get ready for the fall.

This hasn't been a great year for tomatoes but there is still time to plant a last crop of green leafy vegetables. Mustard, chard, cilantro, spinach and lettuce for example can be planted all through summer in sunny locations.

Time for Trees and Shrubs

Late summer is a great time to be working on your trees and shrubs. Consider doing some pruning of your existing trees now that most of the summer growth is done. Prune your azaleas and rhododendrons. Many popular shrubs can get out of control if they aren't kept to reasonable size by pruning so do it now.

Prepare to prune fruit trees after the final harvest in August or September.

Water, water, water

This has been a dry, hot summer in our area. The weather bureau declared California a drought area. Keep up your watering and consider planting more drought tolerant plants for next year. All predictions are that the future will be dryer. Have you checked your irrigation system for leaks lately? The heat at this time of year is especially stressful for many plants so keep them moist.

Your lawn will be especially needy of water at this time. Be sure to thoroughly water any new plantings and keep them watered until cooler fall temperatures. Trees and shrubs need regular watering in the heat of summer. Finally consider a layer of mulch to hold in the water and replace sprayers with bubblers since they use water much more efficiently.

What About Flowers?

Summer annuals can still deliver four more months of color. Consider planting marigolds, petunias, cleome, salpiglossis, zinnias, lobelia, bedding dahlias, alyssum, cosmos, fibrous begonias, and ageratum. Monthly fertilizing with plenty of iron and sulfur will keep your annuals blooming. Slugs and snails or busy this time of year. Ask us about the best pest control for your needs.

If you want to replant your bulbs next year now is the time to dig them up. Clean and dry the bulbs then store them in your refrigerator for at least 8 weeks. Always store them in paper bags, never plastic, to prevent mildew.

Looking for other August planting ideas? Stop by Roger Reynolds and ask us for recommendations specific to your needs.

Add Spectacular Terracotta Planters and Vases to Your Garden

Roger Reynolds has just become the exclusive area retailer for these magnificent modern design and reproduction ancient Greek and Italian planters and vases. Available in many sizes with some standing up to approximately four feet tall, they make for dramatic accents in your home or garden.

The originals were used to store olives and olive oil as well as wine and other household goods. Each one is hand thrown on potter’s wheels and then hand detailed in a variety of finishes, just like the originals, in Montelupo, Italy. Then they are fired at high temperatures to make them very durable and extreme temperature resistant.

Hypertufa Container Gardening Workshop

July 20th 9:30am - 11:30am at Roger Reynolds Nursery
Join the pros from Pacific Horticulture and Roger Reynolds Nursery & Carriage Shop in Menlo Park, CA, and leave with your own hypertufa container.

Old stone sinks and animal troughs have been used to grow plants for many years. Today, they are scarce and very expensive. But now, we can make them from hypertufa, an artificial medium with absorbent properties similar to tufa rock. It is lighter than regular concrete, and will not be damaged by freezing after it is completely cured. Hypertufa, a mixture of cement, peat moss and pearlite molded to resemble troughs of old and is a fun process for creating an instant antique for your garden. Wear old clothes and shoes. All materials will be provided for and as an added bonus, you’ll receive a 20% discount at the nursery to purchase plants for your new creation.

This is one in a series of do it yourself workshops with the pros to create projects that add beauty to your garden. This workshop is taught by Steve Gerischer president of Pacific Horticulture Society and a noted landscape designer in Southern California.

Pacific Horticulture Society sponsors a wide variety of learning events. Roger Reynolds is a highly regarded supplier of plants, garden supplies, gifts, services and garden advice on the San Francisco peninsula. They’ve been a regional favorite for over 90 years.

Roger Reynolds is easy to reach from all Bay Area communities, centrally located on the peninsula via Highway 101 freeway and the east bay via the Dumbarton Bridge. For locals, it’s just a block off El Camino Real at Encinal.

Advance registration is required due to the popularity of hypertufa containers among garden enthusiasts. Sign up early as space is limited.

Fee: $40 for Pacific Horticulture members, $45 for non members.
This fee includes all materials to create one hypertufa container.

Ornamental Grasses - A Beautiful Option

This year we are having an especially dry and warm summer. All the more reason to replace some of your thirsty high maintenance plants with beautiful options that are native to our area, or thrive in our wonderful Peninsula climate.

The fine, upright foliage of tall ornamental grasses ripple in the wind. Shorter grasses fill in nicely with other plants. Both sizes add a decorative touch to your garden that is very "now".

Use a single decorative grass as a centerpiece or put many small clumps over a larger area for a natural look. Mix and match different varieties to add texture.

However you use them, decorative grasses are low-maintenance favorites of today's Menlo Park area gardeners.

We have just received a fine selection of some of the most dramatic and colorful varieties. Come in soon for best selection.

Succulents - Thrive on Neglect

For any garden or pot where you require low maintenance consider succulents. Succulents require very little water or other care and are largely immune to pests and diseases. Nothing could be an easier solution.

Succulents come in an amazing variety of leaf textures and colors. A variety of plants become an interesting centerpiece where ever you put them.

Most succulents grow slowly and store water in their fleshy leaves. They want soil that doesn't hold water so plant them in a high sand mixture designed for cacti and succulents that drains quickly.

Right now we have one of the best and largest selections of unusual succulents we've had in years. Ask our experts about using decorative grasses, succulent and other low maintenance options that will suit your needs.

Encore Azaleas - Keep Right On Blooming

People who adore spring blooming azaleas can now enjoy an explosion of color season after season. Encore Azaleas are the only patented brand of azaleas to bloom in the spring, summer and fall.

Once the “first act” of blooming concludes in the spring, new shoots begin to grow and set buds. The Encore Azalea’s “second act” opens when these buds begin blooming into full flower mid-summer. This unique bloomseason continues through the fall, the curtain dropping with the onset of cold weather.

But, the show goes on. As an “encore”, these exceptional azaleas flower again with traditional spring azaleas and the process starts over.

Evergreen Encore Azaleas enjoy more sun than traditional azaleas, but offer the same easy care.

We have Encore Azaleas in a variety of traditional and unusual colors.
