The first of our mums have arrived!

Fall vegetables have started to arrive! We have broccoli, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, assorted lettuce, and Swiss chard. More to come over the next few weeks!

This charming gem of a nursery is in all ways the opposite of a big box shop. For starters, they grow much of their own stock. Small in size, Kingsdene is prized by serious plantspeople, particularly for its selection of trees and shrubs. A small business that distinguishes itself through exceptional customer service, it’s not uncommon for staffers to forage in a dense sea of plants to find the best-looking specimen for their customers. They also stand behind their plants, offering a one-year warranty on many trees and shrubs.

All roses are currently 20% off! This includes old fashion, climbers, knockouts, and drift. Come get the colors while they’re hot!

Did you know it’s time to start thinking about your fall garden harvest? We know it certainly doesn’t feel like it with temperatures still in the 90’s! But if you can brave the weather by doing a little in the morning or evening, you will reap a bountiful harvest as the weather cools off! We have seeds, soils and starter kits in stock. And, as always, we are here to make your harvest a success! Click here to view a vegetable planting calendar for central Maryland from the University of Maryland Extension.

Splash Splash, birds taking a bath! Don’t forget our feathered friends during this unbearable heat. Did you know birds don’t sweat. They remove any excessive body heat via respiration. Water is a MUST for them during the hot humid months of Summer. Help the birds with one of our colorful birdbaths, including the always popular granite. A lovely addition to incorporate into your landscape! And birds taking a bath are always fun to watch .

That Alexa! She can be very lazy, and especially in this heat. If your landscape has become totally out of control and the weeds are taking over, not to worry. We offer mid-season “clean-ups”, including weed control, edging, mulching, pruning as well as full landscaping services. Give us a call @ 410-343-1150. We will have you weed free in no time!

This little gem is loved by the pollinators, “Baby Joe” Pye Weed. A fabulous addition to those who are short on space in their landscape. Grows to a manageable 2-3’ tall and limits its spread. “Baby Joe” has attractive purple blooms that will add a sweet fragrance to your garden. It supplies butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees with vital nectar. “Baby Joe” really shines when planted in a grouping. Full to part sun, likes moist well-drained soil, generally deer resistant. Not yet in bloom but available now in perennials.

Just a few more of the beautiful perennials available in the nursery. June is Pollinator month so please consider buying for them. Heaven knows they need all the help they can get . Thank you Roxanne Gladden Miller for the photo!

“Fizzy Mizzy”, sounds like it should be a tropical libation, right? “Fizzy Mizzy” is actually one of our all time favs. Also known as Itea virginica, or Sweet Spire, this NATIVE has a tidy upright growth habit with fragrant white flower spikes. “Fizzy Mizzy” attracts pollinators , is generally deer resistant, grows approx. 2 to 3 feet high and wide with average water needs. Likes sun but will tolerate a shady location. All in all a good overall bet for your landscape. Available in the nursery.
