Welcome to

Full Bloom Nursery!

Spring was glorious, with cool weather and plenty of rain. The dog days of summer are here though, and there are things to keep in mind to keep your landscape investment healthy.

If you have trees that have been in the ground for less than a year, they need a good soaking once a week. The most effective way to get the water down deep- so you soak the entire root ball- is to turn the garden hose on to a soft trickle and let it run for one hour. You won't be using much water, but the water you do use will seep down and moisten the entire root zone. Trees are one of the best investments you can make in your property and to the environment so keep them healthy! For more on effective watering, click on the "Proper Watering" tab to the left.

Keep those weeds pulled! Yes, it's tedious but so important. Weeds compete for water and nutrients and they re-seed at alarming rates.

Always maintain 2-3 inches of mulch around trees, flowerbeds and shrub borders. Don't pile up too much mulch around trees (we call it mulch volcanoes). The mulch should not come in contact with the tree trunk.

It's time to order seeds for the fall vegetable garden. Mail order companies are usually the best source because they have the best variety and the freshest seeds. If you prefer to purchase vegetable plants, we'll have those around mid-September.

Be sure to visit the "Garden Calender" page for the latest on events that are coming up.

Whether you are a serious plant collector or a new homeowner on a budget, you’ll enjoy a trip to our nursery. We have acres of shrubs, evergreens, trees, perennials, herbs, conifers, roses, and bedding plants.

We’re here to give you advice and to help you pick the right plants. If you’ve dreamed of having a beautiful yard with lush, healthy plants we can help you achieve your goals.

For your convenience, we also sell soil amendments and mulch in bag and bulk. Amending your soil with organic matter is the absolute best thing you can do to make your plants more drought-tolerant and able to withstand our hot, dry summers and clay soil that stays wet in winter.

You’ll find a lot of information here on a wide assortment of plants and gardening tips. Click on the "water issues" links for good, detailed information on drought tolerant plants, using less water, and suggestions on how to keep your plants healthy with very minimal water. We all must do our part to conserve water and your plants usually need a lot less water than you might think. We hope you will find the tips we’ve provided helpful.

Enjoy and happy gardening!
