Mulching to 2" in the spring and again in the fall will pay dividends all year long. A solid layer of quality Dark Bark Premium Mulch lets water, fertilizers and air in, and prevents the ground from drying out. Garden Center is Available for Meeting, Tours and Events If your Civic Group, Garden Club or Organization would like a cozy place to meet during this summer, fall or winter, our Garden Center is open for meetings, tours and events Monday through Saturday.

Once again, contact the Garden Center Office at 1-800-828-3405 with all inquiries and reservations. During the spring we had visits from St. John's UCC Day School, Several Girl Scout & Boy Scout Troops, and many Garden & Farm Clubs. It was a pleasure seeing everyone. www.gdnctr.com Mousepads Available If you're a computer user - and many of our customers and friends are these days - we have a beautiful ¼" thick, 8 ¾" x 7 ¾" www.gdnctr.com mousepad available at no charge with any purchase of $50 or more.
