cRazy Spring

Need a quick & inexpensive pick-me-up to make you forget about that blue tarp on top of the house? Come by and get some fresh herb plants and make a container garden that offers up fast rewards! You can plant this afternoon and go out tonight for a few sprigs to serve up with dinner. (Sorry I can post pictures, but Blogger and I are fighting today.)

We are also excited about some new gift items we are adding at the nursery! I'll write about those tomorrow...don't want to load you down with too much information at once!

Thanks for your continued support.

Getting Back to my Posts

Look!!! I'm blogging once a month now!! lol...I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger. My goodness I've gotten behind, but I promise I'm trying to get better. I sure hope you guys have driven by the nursery more times than I've posted recently. HA! From the looks of things, you have. The mulch has been FLYING out of here! Thank you to everyone who has stopped by for that. Seems like Rocky Hill is going to have some beautiful yards this spring. We got in some more herbs yesterday and also got a TRUCKLOAD of Japanese Maples!!!!! Stop by today to get first pick over those babies. We are ALSO working with our Kamodo Joe grill and smoker representative to get a demonstration day together. Now, that will be some fun! These grills/smokers are great. We took one home with us and love it.

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....
