Fall is in full-swing over here. We kicked off the

Fall is in full-swing over here. We kicked off the season with our Fall Open House last Sunday, and we were so glad to see many of you! If you're looking for inspiration as the seasons change, we're fully immersed in fall with colorful pumpkins and gourds, cornstalks, straw bales, our fresh, homegrown mums and so many interesting fall annuals and perennial grasses.

What else have we been up to recently?

🍂 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀! We never stop growing and improving, so this summer members of our Team attended three horticulture industry events, with another upcoming this month.

🍂 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴! Our Landscape Team works on new designs year-round. September and October are very busy months for planting, November means fall clean ups, and this winter is a terrific time to plan for spring. Get in touch with us.

🍂 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰! It takes months of meticulous planning, pouring through plant lists, determining quantities, placing orders, preparing greenhouses and growing. Which is why our last day for the 2023 season will be Sunday, October 22. Our planning and preparations for the 2024 season will continue through the end of the year, with a waiting list of special projects and improvements. As mentioned back in June, we're refocusing our time and energy on what we already do well, conserving our space, time, energy and passion to bring you the best of the best.

Our landscape department is open year-round for planning and scheduling. And we're always here for your questions and with expert advice. Really looking forward to seeing you for fall. It's going to be a good one.

Kalanchoe tomentosa ‘Chocolate Soldier’ is a beautiful succulent with fuzzy, felt-like leaves and stems.

Yours will stay small, tidy and easy-to-care-for in your container, with loose rosettes and vertical, oval-shaped leaves that blend silvery green with distinctive chocolate brown tips and outlines (some call them stitches). It’s even known to be ‘hard to kill,’ requiring very little water and only when completely dry. Give yours morning sun or partial/filtered light.

Save $5 on each all month!
