Incorporate Bird Baths into Your Landscape

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 😊.

“Baby Joe” Pye Weed Available in Our Perennials

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.

Fizzy Mizzy Available in the Nursery

“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.

Hydrangeas Available in the Nursery

A sea of color! Hydrangeas are long-lived shrubs that offer big colorful blooms throughout summer and into fall, when many other shrubs have completed their show. So many enticing shades of white, cream, pink, blue, and red. The big, rounded flower clusters make handsome dried arrangements. Hydrangeas can be quite the “show off” in your garden. Available in the nursery.

Roses Available in the Nursery

“A rose is a rose is a rose”, and they are all lovely. 🌹 We have drifts, old-fashioned, knock-outs, and the popular Brindabella™ series. All available in the nursery. {quote penned by Gertrude Stein}
