What’s New?
We are open and busy cleaning, organizing and filling pots with soil because baby plants and plugs are on their way soon. We are here Tuesday through Saturday from 10 to 4. Closed Sunday and Monday in February. But we can meet you by appointment just about any time. Just call Rick’s cell (618-567-7841) or try the garden center (618-234-4600).
It might be the dead of winter but we are busy getting ready for the best spring ever. To get you thinking spring, check out these plants that have won national attention. They are simply the best of the best. Selected for their easy care and excellent performance, at least one needs a spot in your garden.
