Ruby, you are so thoughtful! We are keeping this sweet picture of Lily where we can see it often! It makes us think of Lily and your kindness to make it for us. 😊

Happy National Gardening Day, and what a gorgeous day it is! 🤩🌞🌺

We were so happy to have Girl Scout Troop 2008 with us yesterday afternoon! Lynn taught them about pollinators and plants that attract them to the garden. 🦋🌿🌸🐝 The girls had fun learning and meeting Willow! 🐱

Thank you, Troop 2008, for coming by; we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Happy Wednesday, friends! What's been blooming in your garden recently?🌸🌷🌿

Have you ever seen an air plant bloom? 🌸

We have, and several are blooming at the nursery now! Watch to see the blooms! 🌸😍

🌿Air plants do not need soil. They derive nutrients from the air and water.
🌿They need bright, indirect light indoors.
🌿They love humid environments, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, or kitchens. Keep them away from air vents blowing directly on them.
🌿Mist or soak them (in a bowl of water for about 20 minutes, usually every week or two) regularly to water them.
🌿You can mount them on driftwood, place them in a bowl for decoration, hang them, or place them anywhere where you can't easily place a potted plant.
🌿Their flower color can be red, pink, purple, yellow, white, or blue, depending on the variety.

Air plants are available now! Medium $7, large $10, specialty $15

TONIGHT & TOMORROW NIGHT: probable frost!!

🌸Cover or bring inside:
•all spring annuals
•warm-weather veggies & herbs
•fruit trees/ berries with buds
•any buds such as Peonies
•any flowers you want to save

🌸To protect, bring inside or cover with an old sheet, towel, blanket, or frost cloth- we have large sizes available at the nursery. Never use tarps or buckets- anything plastic, as it can damage your plants. Ask us questions below! 🌿

We're looking forward to some sunshine this week🤞, how about you?

📣Tonight and tomorrow night, we will be having probable freezes. You need to cover or bring inside all spring annuals, warm-weather veggies and herbs, as well as anything you want to protect from a frost, such as Peony buds or anything in bloom you want to protect. 📣Also, be sure to cover fruit trees and berries- you won't have fruit if a frost gets to the buds!

To protect: bring inside or cover with an old sheet, towel, or a frost cloth- we have large sizes available at the nursery. Ask us questions below!

It's a beautiful morning at your local nursery; we'd love to see you! 🌸🌿🪴🌳

Thank you to all who have sent us messages and kind words over the loss of our kitty, Lily. 🩷 We appreciate and love our community!

Hello friends, we have sad news to share this morning. Our sweet Lily has peacefully passed away.

She is forever loved by our staff and by so many customers who would come greet her and look for her specifically at the nursery. She was 15 years old and lived a full life of adventure and cuddles here at the garden center. She was spoiled rotten by all of us and all of you. She was our greatest employee who was training Willow to be the next greatest Employee of the Month. We will love her forever. 🩷

Please share a story or memory you have of sweet Miss Lily in the comments below- we would love to hear from you. 🩷

Thankfully, last night's storms did not damage the nursery. We hope you and your family are safe, too. We are open today.

We miss the sunshine, but Lady Banks Roses radiate sunshine on their own!

Thornless and climbing, this rose features abundant buttery-yellow blooms from spring to early summer. It looks fantastic on a trellis or garden arch! Full sun locations only; matures to be 20'H x 10'W. 3g pots are $40

We have a lot of new followers!🌿🌸 Allow us to introduce ourselves! >>

The last slide shows our two favorite employees! >>

Share this! 📣 It's the time of year when we all need to keep an eye on the lows at night. Thursday night will be a low in the 20s. You'll want to cover several plants:

🌸Protect any buds that you'd like saved (such as Lilacs that are budding, like mine here in the video), bulbs that are blooming, fruit trees that are budding, etc with a frost cloth or old sheet. If you have warm-weather veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, etc) outside already, bring them indoors or cover them.

Never use plastic to cover your plants.

We have frost cloths available! They can be reused year after year and are handy to have on hand: 12x10 for $40.99

Ask us questions below & keep an eye on the lows the next few weeks!

Plant cool-weather veggies, perennials, cool-weather annuals, trees, and shrubs to your heart's content this month! 💛🌿🌳

Our frost date in Middle Tennessee is April 15th, which is the approximate date we stop seeing frosts (it can be later some years!). It's a little early for warm-weather veggies and spring annuals to be planted outdoors, but SOON, it will be time to plant those, too! We're so excited for spring, how about you? 😊🌸🌿🙌
