growing our community one plant at a time
“Spring will come and so will happiness.
Hold on.
Life will get warmer.”
— Anita Krizzan
After a long, snowy winter we are grateful for return of warmer days. We are starting seeing signs of spring; tiny sprouts poking through newly thawed ground, cheerful birdsong in the mornings, and smiling neighbors out walking in the community. In the coming months, you can look forward to a wide selection colorful flowers & plants as well as some exciting events we have planned. To new beginnings and hope & joy for the future!

VIRGINIA BLUEBELLS
Mertensia virginica
A signature native woodland plant, Foliage emerges as the weather starts warming in March. With its long, trumpet-like flowers that bloom until early to mid-May, Virginia Bluebells stay in flower just long enough to benefit early-season moths, butterflies and native bees that cherish this early nectar source.
GARDEN PHLOX
Phlox paniculata 'Jeana'
Erect, stiff stems are topped with sweetly scented, lavender-pink flowers from midsummer through early autumn. The flowers are small but there are up to one hundred in each cluster creating a unique tiered effect. Prefers well-draining soil in full sun to light shade. Performs best in full sun. Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies in huge numbers
BEE BALM
Monarda didyma 'Jacob Cline'
'Jacob Cline' is a tall, vigorous, long blooming bee balm with enormous red blooms and fragrant foliage. Perfect for the back of any planting, it provides nectar for butterflies and hummingbirds, seed for birds and cover for wildlife. Removing old flowers extends the July through August bloom time. Thrives in full sun to partial shade and is deer resistant. ​
