Happy Wednesday! Willow is enjoying it! 😻

Fresh, new arrival! Poinsettias are here!

🎄Care instructions:
❣️Poinsettias are tropical flowers & need to stay indoors. They need warmth to stay happy & healthy.
❣️Avoid placing your Poinsettias near cold drafts indoors (such as near an exterior door that is frequently opened). Also avoid the air vent blowing directly on them.
❣️Poinsettias don't like their roots to be consistently wet. Water them well & then wait several days before watering again. If the plant feels heavy when you pick it up, it probably doesn't need watering quite yet.

🎄Poinsettia pricing:
2" refill $4.50
2" decorative $8
4" $5
6.5" $8.50
8" $18

🎄Ideas on where to place them in your home:
❣️On your mantle or hearth
❣️In a guest bedroom where loved ones can enjoy it during their visit and can be a gift they take home with them
❣️As part of your Thanksgiving or Christmas tablescape. Taking this idea one step further: you could use our mini Poinsettias & place one at each loved one's spot at the table- a special little gift they can take home with them after the feast!

✨️🎄Live Christmas trees are available now! We have 5-6' tall B&B Pine, Hemlock, and Spruce to choose from, straight from our tree fields.

🎄Pines $150
🎄Hemlock and Spruce $175

Call us at 615-468-2008 or ask specific questions ⬇️ on having a live Christmas tree (to plant in your yard after Christmas!).🎄✨️

✨️🎄We are now taking pre-orders for our beautiful, fresh custom-made holiday wreaths and arrangements. Your order is made with fresh greenery directly from our tree fields and is expertly made here at your local nursery.🎄✨️

🎉🌸Did you hear?!
Spring bulbs are now 25% off!!🎉🌸 Fall is the ideal time to plant them.

Tips to plant bulbs:

✨️🌷Plant in an area where, this past spring, you needed a little something extra. Most bulbs do best in mostly to full-sun locations.

✨️🌷Try grouping at least 6 to 9 larger bulbs (tulips and daffodils), & 15-20 small bulbs (crocus and squills together) for greater impact.

✨️🌷The planting depth of a bulb generally depends on the size of the bulb. A good rule of thumb is that the depth you plant should be 3x the diameter of the bulb.

✨️🌷If you're just planting a few bulbs, you may want to just dig individual holes for each one. If you're planting a large bed full of bulbs, you'll find it easier to dig up the entire area.

✨️🌷After planting your bulbs, add an 8-8-8 fertilizer & replace the soil you've dug up. Water thoroughly & add mulch on top to insulate your bulbs in preparation for winter.

✨️🌷Keep a list of the bulbs you're planting, their height, color, location & where you bought them. This will come in handy next year when you really love a certain flower but cannot remember what it was or where it came from. 💛

Spring bulbs are now 25% off! Now is the perfect time to plant them. They make excellent Christmas presents, as well, and can be planted up until approximately New Year's.

Our high-quality bulbs are from Netherland Bulb Company. Come by and pick up several for you AND a friend!🌷

PSA 📣 Fall is our driest season in Middle Tn, & we've had a drought for months!! It's easy to think gardening is done in fall, but you must continue to water through this drought.

💦Water established trees & shrubs during this drought in addition to newly planted plants (planted within the last year)

💦Deeply water every 3-4 days this fall when we aren't experiencing adequate rainfall

💦Place a hose at the base of the tree or shrub & water at a slow stream of water for approximately 20-30 minutes for each tree or shrub

💦Morning is the best time to water, followed by evening

💦Alternatively, you can purchase tree gators at the nursery that will go around the base of the tree & slowly release water for several days. This is optimal if you have trees you can't reach with a hose or if you don't have time to water

We want your plants to thrive! To do so, you must water this fall during this drought! 💦 Ask us any questions below or at the nursery. 😊

We ❤️ our Lily!

Thanks to @horticulture_615 for sharing this recent 📸 of her!😻

✨️Starting today, all Mums and cornstalks are 25% off!✨️ Finish decorating your porch for fall 🎃💛

✨️Mum Care Tips!⬇️

🌼Mums bloom best in full sun locations (6+ hours)
🌼Mums bloom once each year. Their flush of blooms last several weeks
🌼Our Mums are perennial. You can plant them and enjoy their blooms year after year
🌼When watering Mums, carefully water at the base of the plant. Their stems are fragile and can easily break when a strong stream of water hits them
🌼Mums are usually pretty thirsty- check to see if they need water by sticking your finger about an inch down into the soil. If it's dry, it's time to water. Don't be surprised if you need to water every day while they're in pots
🌼Mums naturally bloom in summer. If you're planting your perennial Mum, here's how to trick them into blooming in fall. Around July 4th, pinch their stems back by several inches; this will make them bloom in autumn for you

What's your favorite color of Mum? Share ⬇️!

Mums are available now in almost every color imaginable!
1-gallon $6
10" $10
7-g $25

Happening TOMORROW at the garden center!! Lots of free fall fun for the entire family; share with your friends! We are excited to see you!💛🎃

Happy Fri-yay!

Pansies have been grown in our growing greenhouses and are available at the garden center! $1 each 4" pot ❤️
