Plant Now for Summer Blooms
In most areas, there is still plenty of time to plant Annual Wildflowers and Bulbs for gorgeous blooms this summer. See an empty spot in the garden or want to fill a couple of lonely planters? We have hundreds of varieties to choose from in a true rainbow of colors.

Hummingbirds are on Their Way!
Hummingbirds are on their way back. It’s time to get ready for them. This is my 5th year photographing hummingbirds. Planning my hummingbird area is always a time for me to get creative. Not only do I have to think like a hummingbird but I also need to think like a photographer.

Spring is in the Air!
I’m always excited this time of year as a few warm winter days remind me that spring is not far away! We recently participated in our local flower show which was a great success and lots of fun…

New Wildflower Species for 2013!
Each season we add a variety of new, unique wildflowers to our seed offerings, taking in to consideration varieties our customers have been asking for, unique species that serve a special purpose (drought-tolerant, shade, etc.) and requests from our staff gardeners. For this spring planting season, we are excited to be carrying a dozen new seed varieties and will be planting many of them in our own gardens!
