Mulch Well and Water Less Ofter

With the threat of another draught upon us, it is very important that we mulch our gardens properly.

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. Call the Garden Center Office at 1- 800-828-3405 to make arrangements. We can accommodate 20 with our chairs, or up to 200 with your supply. The entire facility is on one level with easy access.

The complex is also available for Weddings and other functions on a cost-per-event basis. Catering, entertainment and refreshments can be arranged, or you can provide your own.

Once again, contact the Garden Center Office at 1-800-828-3405 with all inquiries and reservations.
