Wall fountains can be used  to create a focal point in an outdoor setting. They can be combined with other features, plant material or stand alone. Left running or even turned off they always make a statement.

That title reminds me of the famous Gilda Radner perfume commerical spoof from SNL years back…

But When I saw these great upright Yews come off the truck that is actually what I whispered.

We a have good number in stock @ Potters 152 and They would work well in any landscape project

All of our basket stuffers have started to come in are ready to be planted. We have a huge selection and are always happy to search for something on your wish list.

Ulmus parvifolia ‘ Hokkaido is a neat little miniture elm that I just  picked up for a miniture Sun planter. It is can be trained as a bonsai or used in a container.  I would avoid placing it in the garden  due to the fact that it might get lost and lose its charm. It’s leaves are very tiny and its branches are narrow and corky. A tree several decades old may only reach 3 feet.

I’m always searching for something unique in the world of plants to bring into our store. With the number of smaller suppliers out there it is always exicting to locate one with plant material that is totally out there. This year I  found a ton of new stuff  and I’d like to mention a few standouts. Stranvaesia davidiana is an evergreen shrub that makes a good replacement for Photonia. Unlike Photinia it is not effected by entomosporium. Another plant that caught my eye, literally , is Abies nordmanniana ‘Golden Spearder’. This plant absolutely glows up against  the green of the garden. And Finally there are 2 very cool or maybe odd plants that I’m excited about. Aesculus digitata ‘Monstrosa’ which is a plant that looks to have a virus causing fasciation.It is hard to describe and even harder to find, I have 1 of only 2 available this year. And finally a pine that only it’s mother could love. Pinus contorta ‘ Spaan’s dwarf” has very short new needles which from a distance make it look bald.

Carren just planted up the cutest little nest planters which would make the perfect gift to give to the host on Easter night.

The new Grovert Designer living wall system makes verticle gardening possible. It is an easy 3 step system that you can expand as large as you like or keep it as small as a picture frame. Indoor or outdoor this system can add beauty and interest to any verticle surface.

I love this little perennial. I’ve never had any problem with them and when things are starting to look rough in the garden , it seems to pop up just in time. I have it under the canopy of a Acer japonicum sp. and in between a pair of mouse ears hosta.
