Stop by and see the large assortment of annuals and vegetables we have on hand. Remember all plant material is produced by the students within our Horticulture Program.

Tip of the Season

If you are looking to maintain your outside bulbs this is an important time of the year. Once the flower has faded, remove just the flower leaving all the green leaves to die back on their own. This allows the bulb to produce food and increase in size for next year. Never cut all the leaves off until they have turned brown. You might also consider spreading a little bone meal around as well.
