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!!

A Little Cooler...

As I write this post my phone tells me that it is 86 degrees outside today. Isn't it funny when 86 is COOLER?!? HAHAHA...Fall is our favorite time of year at the nursery. All the beautiful flowers are about to come in, we get GREAT decorations for the holidays, and THEN we get...........Christmas trees, and everyone knows what that means...The Reindeer Festival. We can't wait!

We've really done a lot down at the nursery over the summer. We have built a new fireplace and even a PIZZA OVEN! So, it looks like we are really going to have a fun fall.

Stay tuned for more information about specials and upcoming events.

Home Improvement

Do you have an outdoor kitchen yet? It's the trend, you know?Many people have discovered that their money will work harder for them if they improve their current house. Whether they are looking to stay in the home and improve on what the have, or they would like to get an edge over homes for sale in their area...adding an outdoor room can be just what they need.

Stop by Creekside Nurseries & Hardscapes and check out our desgn studio. We have pavers, fireplaces, kitchens...and now, a PIZZA OVEN! Come visit us a 8718 S. Northshore Drive today.

Here's a great article from Fine Gardening Magazine on climbing roses. Don't you just love these?!?

Stop by the nursery this week for 40% off plants, bushes & trees!

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.
