Spring's in the Air

Well, even with this little cold snap, I think we're all ready to get our hands a bit dirty. With that in mind, let me tell you of some great colorful choices to get you started.

Pansies - Lots of colors to choose from
Lynnwood Gold Forsythia - Blooming right now - Bright Yellow
Texas Scarlet Quince -Magenta Bloom - Also blooming now
Dr. Merrill Magnolia - Great Flowering Small Tree - White Fragrant Bloom

As we work in the greenhouse to get it ready, I look forward to seeing you soon!

Be Ready for Spring! Here's How!

1. Make a plan of your garden layout. Decide if you want to keep everything where it is currently located or does it need to move to another location.
2. Think about what new plants you would like to add. Come in and talk to someone if you're not sure what plants would be good for that particular area. We'd be happy to help!
3. Get your tools sharpened and ready for another years use. We've partnered with www.kysharp.com for all your sharpening needs. Buy new tools if necessary.
4. Purchase new potting soil for all your planters. Dispose of your old potting soil in your compost pile or vegetable garden.
5. Trim back any dead or broken branches on shrubs and trees.

Or if this sounds like too much work for you, give Showplace a call and let us do the hard stuff.
