Gotta LoVe the South!

This month's issue of Southern Living is one of the best as far as gardening and curb appeal goes! I'm driving Scott crazy with ideas for our yard. I hope you guys are picking up a copy to browse in anticipation of the warmer days ahead. We are busy getting plants ordered right now.

We have lots of mulch in stock, so come on down and get a jump on your spring gardening. A lot of people didn't mulch last season, so we are really expecting rush.

Have you joined our Facebook page? If not, go on over there and 'like' it now. You can leave us messages about what you would like to see in the garden center, look at portfolio pictures, or learn about specials we are having (sometimes they might be SECRET Facebook specials!)

See you guys soon!!

Dreamin'..........


One of the best things about running a garden center is spring planning in January and February. These two months used to seem so L-O-N-G and dark. Many people get seasonal depression right now, and I can sure understand that....but now, well, at the garden center we get to spend the time after the holidays looking through beautiful catalogs for spring plants and flowers. Isn’t that great? We’ve also been looking into the herbs for spring (that’s my personal favorite!) The Herb House has been a big hit the past few years and we do not plan to disappoint this year, either. Is there anything better than stepping out on your patio and grabbing a handful of this or that to put in a recipe? Yummmmmmm. I can’t wait!


Of course, the weather around here has been quite crazy this year. The old wives’ tales tell us that a warm January could mean some nasty weather in February, and even March! So, watch out! Mother Nature could still be planning a winter formal...


I hope to be updating a lot over the next few weeks. We just put some new portfolio pictures on the Facebook page and are working on getting those on the website. Please share our Facebook page with your friends. We depend on our great customers to help us spread the word about our business. Rocky Hill has to be one of the best places in the world to be a small business owner. The support you show us is wonderful. So many friends have stopped in just to tell us they love the changes that we have made. If you haven’t stopped in, please do. We have some beautiful custom fireplaces, a pizza oven, and we have redone the outdoor kitchen!!


Well, that’s all for today. I hope you guys are busy planning your spring planting, too. It really makes these dreary days go by a little faster. See you soon!!
