If you’ve thought about enriching your garden with the addition of edible fruits, Landscaping with Fruit is an informative guide covering how to choose plants (trees, shrubs, and vines), how to add them to your garden, and healthy maintenance tips. The aim is to strengthen and enhance a garden’s beauty as well as enjoy the resulting bounty.

Now is a perfect time to read Landscaping with Fruit, so when bareroot fruit trees arrive in January, you’ll be ready to make carefully thought-out selections while the choices are plentiful. A good companion book might be one of the two pruning books we offer; How to Prune Fruit Trees is considered an industry classic, and Pruning Made Easy is a nicely illustrated book in a larger format and more comprehensive in coverage. Both books provide detailed pruning instructions.

Vegetable gardening is becoming wildly popular. Whether you are just starting out or have been gardening for years, Grow Vegetables is a very readable reference providing sound fundamentals for successfully planning and nurturing a garden plot. The Family Kitchen Garden is a wonderful book--an enjoyable read for anyone. It is geared towards young families and inspiring a love of gardening in children through fun projects and recipes mixed in alongside gardening tasks.

 

Hardy Succulents is a beautifully illustrated and comprehensive guidebook. The photos are stunning and provide inspiration for both novices and those who are already succulent fans. Aside from the striking colors and forms that can be combined in endless variations, succulents are drought tolerant, relatively easy to maintain, and suitable for planting in pots as well as in the ground. After reading this book, it would be hard not to try gardening with succulents!

 

 

Few hobbies provide us with the sense of fulfillment we get from gardening. Often, however, obstacles like inadequate space, limited mobility and poor growing conditions, to name just a few, prevent us from having the bountiful garden of our dreams. As an answer to these challenges, we are proud to offer a full selection of beautiful raised garden beds this year.
The elevated garden box (available 18” x 34” or 34” x 48”) is perfect for those living in condos as well as gardeners with back or knee problems. This is the perfect gift for those loved ones who had to give up gardening because they couldn’t get down to the ground any longer – they can even sit in a chair and tend to this garden! For condo and apartment dwellers, the 18” x 34” elevated garden box fits easily on a small patio.

If you have dreamed of a garden filled with fresh organic vegetables, but struggle with our area’s clay soil, the 34” x 95” garden bed (available with or without a trellis system) is the solution for you! This is a wonderful gift that, planted up, can provide a source of delicious produce for years to come.

All of these garden planters are constructed of 100% Western Red Cedar and manufactured in the USA. They are unfinished and require minimal assembly. In fact, the assembly requires absolutely no tools and we can personally attest to the fact that they can be put together within a matter of minutes!

We’ve planted up an elevated garden box in our vegetable section to provide you with inspiration!
