GIVE A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!

This holiday season give a gift that keeps on giving!  Give something that your loved ones can enjoy for years to come!


Lower your utility bills with deciduous shade trees that provide shade during the summer and let the warmth of the sun shine through during the winter.

Provide food for your family with fruit and nut trees.

In today's economy every little bit helps!

And of course a beautifully landscaped area can be very relaxing after a long day at work.  We have a large variety of trees, shrubs, and perennials.

Who would you rather support, the big businesses or main street America? Where can your hard earned money help the most?

EDIBLE LANDSCAPING

Edible landscaping is becoming a very popular way to landscape your yard and is an "earth friendly" way to provide fruit and vegetables for your family. 


Now is the time to plant.  Stop by and talk with me about what type of fruit trees will do well in your yard.  Or you can email any questions you may have and we will respond as soon as possible.


Check out our website to determine which fruit and nut trees, spring flowering trees, or shade trees you may be interested in.  We have a large assortment of sizes in our trees and shrubs to meet your planting needs.

MUCH NEEDED RAIN!

We got 4" of rain yesterday and the plants are really looking good.  Rain water is so much better for the plants.  The rain barrels are full so we can water with that for awhile as needed.

 Mild temperatures, sunny skies, and rain on the way!


This weekend is the perfect time to get your fruit trees, spring flowering trees or shade trees in the ground.  Enjoy the day walking around to check out our selection of trees.  Get them planted this weekend and with rain on the way, they won't even know they have been moved.  Perfect conditions!

You can now follow us on Facebook.  Stop by and leave us a comment.  We love hearing from you!

GETTING READY TO GRAFT

Hasn't the weather been beautiful lately?!  Sunny skies and mild temperatures!  We have had frost two mornings here in sunny Florida.  The trees are going dormant and Cliff is getting ready to start grafting more trees.  This is what he enjoys most of all in working with plants so he is excited about this.  He will also start conducting his sessions where he teaches people how to graft.  This is a dying art (except for the professionals) and Cliff really enjoys sharing his knowledge with others and teaching people how trees are grafted.  If you would like to learn how to graft, just let us know and we will schedule a session for you.  Not only will you learn the art of grafting but you will leave with the tree you grafted!


We have fruit trees for sale that will be bearing fruit next spring and love to see our trees leave with families that will soon be enjoying fresh fruit that they can pick right out of their yard.  Fruit is expensive in the stores so making an edible landscaping is a wise decision, especially in today's economy. Plus, you have the added benefit of knowing whether or not your trees/fruit have been sprayed with chemicals.  All of our plants are chemical free.

We also have a great selection of spring flowering trees, shade trees, shrubs and perennials.

Stop by and see us and get a tour of all the varieties of fruit trees and other plants available.  We enjoy meeting new people and appreciate seeing returning customers and catching up!

This is the beginning of the best time to plant so your plants have time to establish a good root system before the spring growth starts.

We look forward to seeing you!
