ÞWhen can you start
planting perennials? Anytime the ground is workable. As
long as it's not wet outside, you can plant. Annuals are
planted about April 15 or later when the danger of frost
has passed.
ÞPersy has flown the
coop! Our
resident owl Persimmon has been absent these past
few weeks. Maybe he's just on spring break. We'll
let you know if/when he returns...

Mark your
calendar: Our first talk of the season is Sat., March 7
"Beginning Perennial Gardening," one of
our most popular talks of the year, kicks off our 2009 gardening
season Saturday, March 7. We're offering 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. classes
-- please call for reservations (314-965-3070).
We will take you through the steps needed to
create a successful perennial garden. The fundamentals of soil,
plant selection, light requirements, and color schemes will be
discussed. A great class for beginning gardeners, and a nice
refresher for old hands. Get out of the house and have some
fun with fellow plant nerds -- we miss everyone!

talk schedule,

Want to learn about
the hottest plants for 2009?
'King Kong' Poppy
 ...Then
you need to visit
our website.
We have information and pictures on the newest plants that are going to
be creating the most buzz this year. For example -- 'King Kong'
Poppy comes in at a whopping 40 inches tall. Likes full sun and
well-drained soil -- will colonize and astound even the most jaded
gardeners if placed in an ideal location. More perennial info and
pics can be
found here.
Another favorite of ours for 2009 is
Hydrangea arborescens 'Incrediball.' An improved version of
'Annabelle,' this new variety has basketball-sized blooms and thicker
stems to prevent flopping. This hard-to-find cultivar is going to
redefine the arborescens species of hydrangea -- you wait and see!
Look here for more info on our tree and shrub availability.
We are also offering a special
re-blooming daylily package this season. You'll receive five
one-gallon containers of the best re-blooming hemerocallis on the market
-- a $55 value, for only $45. For more information,
look
here.

We Plan You Plant program. Call or stop in to pick up a

The impossible has happened -- our gift shop is cuter than last
yearI know, I know -- you
think I'm exaggerating. But wait until you see the merchandise the girls
have brought in for this spring, including a
new supply of fairy

very own Wendy Conroy! Look here for more pics.
