I believe summer has arrived.  Now I probably just jinxed it.  The long range forecast shows all sun all the time.  Earlier this week we were looking at availability lists and all looked at each other and said, “we need stuff.”  This isn’t to say that the nursery looked empty, but it wasn’t nearly as full and beautiful as it could be.  Travis’s comment was, “so you think annual season is finally here?”  YES!  I put my tomatoes in the ground last weekend, the forecast is lovely and the nursery is looking great.

This week the geraniums are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.  They are in full bloom and ready for your containers.

Travis went hog wild with the perennial order and it gave me a chance to refresh the whole perennials section.  There is lavender (french, spanish and english), blooming penstemon, a ton of purple heucheras and other perennials in gallon containers.

Hanging baskets are still looking good and at $29.99 (get an additional 15% off if you buy two or more) why not pick up a few.

We also received planted containers for your deck or patio.  They range in size and price, but all of them are gorgeous.

Stop by and say hi and check out what is new in the nursery.

I am going to preface this post by saying that I do not get paid from the nursery I work at to write about the store.  I am doing this simply because I enjoy where I work and I feel the quality and service are something that needs to be shared.  That being said, I would like to start a weekly (or semi-regular) feature highlighting what looks great at the nursery.

Rain is in the forecast, but did you know that the majority of Gardensphere’s shopping area is under cover.  Stop by to see what is growing at the nursery.

Right now we have a great selection of gallon perennials.  Sedum and Astilbe look beautiful as do the Echinops and Johnson’s Blue Hardy Geraniums.  Gallon perennials run from $7.95 to $19.95 depending on the plant.

Last week we received 5 gallon Snow Mound Spirea.  They are outstanding.  I have 3 of these in my back yard and they are a wash in soft white blooms.  The arching habit is something that isn’t to be missed.  5 gallons are $35.95 and there are a few 1 gallon plants left at $9.95.

Venus Dogwood is in full bloom right now.  There are 4 at the store and they are 6-7 feet tall and $134.95.

Hanging baskets are still a great deal at buy 2 or more and get 15% off.

Stop by and check it out.
