Bearded Iris: Plant A Rainbow
Bonnie's Garden
I know fall is on the horizon when the bearded iris rhizomes arrive in the store.  We just got ours in so fall can’t be far behind.  There are Bearded Iris that are rebloomers that will bloom in the spring and, if conditions are to their liking, again in late summer/early fall.  If you have reblooming iris, then feed them lightly after they bloom the first time and keep them watered over the summer—remembering to dry out partially.  It’s easy to have a rainbow of spring color in your yard with bearded iris—and, as a bonus—deer don’t like them.

Pollinators
Somewhere between 75% and 95% of all flowering plants on the earth need help with pollination – they need pollinators.  Birds, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, small mammals, and most  importantly, bees are pollinators. They visit flowers to drink nectar or feed off  of pollen and  transport pollen grains as they move from spot to spot. Learn more

Native Plants
Native plants are nature’s ideal source of food and protection for wildlife. The plants listed below are species and cultivars that have occurred naturally in the wild in our region. Because they are native to our area and have evolved in this climate and our soil they will generally require minimal fertilizer, no pest control and very little supplemental watering once established.  Look for our Native Logo on our signs in the nursery!  See our Native plant list

Summertime Lawn Watering
Summer time is here and many homeowners like to water their lawns to keep the grass green. Here are some tips to follow for effective and efficient watering.  By using these tips, you should be able to go barefoot on your lush green lawn all summer.  See tips
