Love your canna lilies but hate the canna rollers, well now is the time to get the jump on them for next season. Now that we have had our first frost cut your cannas back and remove all debris. The canna rollers overwinter in the debris so dispose of it do not add it to the compost pile. For an extra step you can spray the canna stems with BT, a natural bacteria found in soil.

A note from an Arborist.
I get many calls about tree decline. Often I find one common culprit. The quest for a perfect lawn. Every time you spray your lawn tree roots also take up those chemicals, tree roots are located in the top 12” of soil. The results of which show up in stunted or damaged new growth. Your lawn is an ecosystem if you want that beautiful shade tree you have to stop poisoning your soil. Let the clover grow, it’s the bees first food in spring and it’s green.

Wondering if that big spider in your yard is a Joro Spider (Trichonephila clavata)? 🤔

Here’s a comparison between the Joro and three of our large native spiders some folks might confuse it with. More details on Joro Spiders are in my post from last week.

The Timeless Trekkers have adopted the Veterans Plaza Pollinator garden. Along with them and other volunteers and the city horticulture department the garden has transformed. Coneflowers, butterfly bushes and the Mexican sunflowers are so beautiful.

Sad news.

So Chip and I are hanging up our gardening tools and closing the store. We are truly grateful for each and every one of you that has shopped with us and supported us over the last almost 6 years. We are humbled by the love and encouragement from this community in this and all of our businesses.
With that being said, we are having a huge storewide sale. We have every season of decoration, flags and yard décor to move. Please like and share our posts daily so we can reach as many people as possible to let them know about our sales.
Again, we can’t say thank you enough for your support and friendships over the years. We look forward to seeing you in the store soon!
