This Eastern Redbud is transitioning from pink blossoms to red leaves.

Though warmer temps are heating up our days, we are still having some chilly nights. Check your local zip code for average last Frost Days.
tip: If there is snow on Bogus, more tender plants will need protection

May also brings us blooming Peonies!
MG offers both Herbaceous and Itohs in a variety colors.

Topiaries in
Garden Design
| |
Topiary is defined as the horticultural practice of training plants to develop and maintain clearly defined shapes.
The use of Topiaries in garden design dates back to Roman times and were found in the gardens of Julius Caesar.
| |
|
|
Drifting in and out of fashion throughout the centuries, modern topiary designs can range from a single plant to hedges, and can be used to design pathways and mazes.
| |
|
|
Traditional topiary designs are geometric shapes and are often seen in Cones, Sphere/Balls, Obelisks.
| |
|
|
|
Madeline George offers many topiary guides, including the new Cypress design shaped like a teardrop. These guides look great with or without a plant. | |
|
|
Every spring brings wildlife into the nursery.
This year, we have a scurry of baby squirrels playing around in the garden.
And clearly, these little ones are happy to Strike a Pose!

GARDENER TIPS:
In the House
Be careful in taking your houseplants outside, as danger of frosty nights could cause damage. Be sure temperatures are consistently about 50 degrees in the evening before leaving them out overnight.
In the Garden
At this time of year, be sure to check that your irrigation system drips and spray-heads are working properly. Look for signs of underwatering or overwatering and adjust if necessary.
For additional assistance or if you have questions, please feel free to stop in or give us a call.
