Lets talk about colour! Colour in your garden and colour in your home. This time of year the garden colours are turning into saturated greens, rich yellows, oranges, purples, burgundies, pinks and reds. Its such a beautiful contrast against the deep blue skies were having right now! For instant colour, plant garden mums in beds or have them in porch pots beside your door. We grow our own and have a wide array of varieties. Pansies and violets are ready to be tucked into containers with some millet, tall grasses or kale for contrast. Dont have time? We have some wonderful fall planters that are not only beautiful but are edible as well! Bring the colour palette inside with a bouquet of our own grown cut sunflowers, different coloured pumpkins and indoor flowering mums. Dont forget about our giftware, we have some very unique items to decorate your home. We may be focused on fall colours right now but dont forget about planning for spring! Bright yellows, pinks, purples and blues as well as deep reds, creamy whites and brilliant greens will be a welcome sight after winter. Plant spring blooming bulbs now in the ground or layer in containers to have a wonderful surprise in late winter/early spring. See us in store and get the colours and varieties you want now as popular ones go fast!
