🌧️ All this rain has been great for watering…

…but it can also wash nutrients right out of your pots, baskets, flower beds, and vegetable gardens.

If your plants are looking a little pale, slow-growing, or not blooming like they should, they may just need a fresh feeding! 🌱

We’ve got lots of great fertilizer options available including:

• 8-8-8
• 13-13-13
• 8-24-24
• Ferti-lome Start & Grow
• Ferti-lome Premium Bedding Plant Food
• FoxFarm Tiger Bloom & Grow Big liquids
• Time-release fertilizers for long-term feeding

Liquid feeds are great for a quick boost, while time-release fertilizers are perfect for steady feeding over time (especially if you tend to forget 😅🙋‍♂️).

Bring us pictures or questions and we’ll help you choose the right fertilizer for your plants!
Open Mon–Sat 8–5 • Sun 11–4
