Boing, Boing, Boing...Hoping into Spring...

I know you guys are feeling it, too. Mother Nature is dangling that carrot right in front of our faces. This time of year in East Tennessee makes one feel like a five year-old on Christmas Eve...'Is it time yet? Can we go outside and play? Can we plant? Are we going to get another freeze?' The anticipation is truly enough to drive a person crazy.

We are getting in items daily at the nursery. We have a few herbs, and we have brought up some flowering plants from the greenhouse where they have been growing. We also have plenty of mulch!!! We are close to unveiling the checkout area and pergola out front. Stop by and check everything out.

Why I Haven't Been Around...

This is what has been taking up so much of my time. I've not been at the nursery a lot this past year. Brycey was born a few days after the Reindeer Festival last year and that was all she wrote for me. The two of us hibernated for the rest of the winter. He loves being at the nursery, though. For a while I could contain him and then he started crawling...there was no hanging out down there at that point. He wanted to get outside and climb up on the Bobcat with Daddy. So, once again, we ended up waiting around at home every day. Now he is walking. As soon as it starts getting a little warmer, we will be down at the nursery a lot. Brycey is going to make sure that happens. If you've driven by the nursery lately, you know that there is a lot going on. We are building some structures outside to help organize the plants. We are also building a new checkout area. I think everyone is really going to like it! I know we are very happy with all of the changes. I'll try to post a few pictures in a day or two. We just got the roof finished today. Scott and the guys are really working hard on some beautiful hardscape projects. We'll get some of those posted, too (if the weather holds up). We are SOOOOOO looking forward to a great spring! Thanks to everyone who shops at the nursery.

Fallin' In

What a beautiful morning! I'm so glad fall is trying to sneak in on us. We are pulling out the autumn decorations at the nursery and getting some new items, too! I'll post new items as we get them in. Corn stalks and hay bales came in yesterday. We have mums ready!! Come see us and get in the fall mood!!

Do you need your front door, yard or mailbox decorated for the season? Let us know and we can get that taken care of for you. Seasonal decorating is a specialty of ours and we have some of the best inventory in town.

Don't forget about the pansies! We've got those, too. See you soon.

The new website is FINALLY here!

I'm so excited to finally get the new website up and going. We had some wonderful help with this project, and we are very proud and happy of the result. We will be adding new content just as quickly as we can. I have some new portfolio pictures for you guys and we will have a shopping cart. Any input is welcome. I hope you enjoy...

Fall is on my mind....

Ahhhh, fall....OK, I KNOW it's not fall, yet. I'm not stupid. In retail, you have to learn to shift gears at different times than everyone else. So now I'm in fall mode. It's my favorite time of year. I think putting my brain into fall mode is also keeping me from having a heat stroke. I mean, REALLY, what's up with the heat! Is your yard burning up yet? If it is, you aren't the only one. Keeping a yard going this time of year is truly a labor of love.

Since it's really hot and I didn't want to put a picture of a thermostat exploding, I'll leave you with a beautiful picture of a butterfly that my friend Dianne took. Isn't that a wonderful example of what nature gives us to enjoy during these sweltering summer afternoons? See, it all evens out....

Word to your Mother

My goodness!!! Spring has sprung all over us. Time is flying, and I can't believe it is Mother's Day weekend. Today is supposed to be beautiful with the temps being just a little cooler than what we have been seeing. It will be a great weekend to come out and find the perfect gift for mom. We have these great garden trellises in two sizes, as well as hanging baskets, ready-made containers, gift certificates...we can do anything. If your aren't local, but your mom is, we can get a great gift together for her and deliver it personally. Just call us at 692-0052 and let us take care of mom for you!

I hope all the moms out there are having a great weekend. Come by and see us!

Bring it On!!!

Spring is trying to make it's way here. Can you see the sun this morning? It feels great.

We are already lining up our first mulch jobs of the spring with lots of do-it-yourselfers coming down to get loaded up. We've also got quit a few loads to deliver this weekend. At this time we still have a few more spots available on the delivery schedule, so if you want to get out and enjoy the pretty weather, give us a call and we will get some mulch to you.
