7/11 - 7/12 Midsummer Madness!
10-5 at all CNT Nurseries! Drive off those doldrums of summer by coming out to see what's happening in our long day gardens! Anything goes at Midsummer Madness...so expect the unexpected. If it's hot, we can squirt you with a hose. We want to remind you that there is no law against planting new plants in the summer months, in fact, we nursery people who have little time during the spring and fall, often find ourselves partaking in this defiant act with great success (with a little watering and mulch) so fear not! There are SO MANY things that look great this time of year. Come see what summer offers for your garden in flower and foliage.
9/26 - 9/27 Colors of Fall Festival
10-5 at all CNT Nurseries LAST CHANCE FOR PLANTS! Late season gala brings glowing surprises in the garden that are seldom seen! Unique offerings chosen for fall planting and winter interest will be featured for this celebration of season. This time of year brings the promise of warm soils, cooling ambient temperatures and coming rains – the perfect time for planting! Wander thru our gardens and let us be your muse…it is also time to ponder winter interest additions and spring surprises. There is always a great variety of established pots, begging to be taken home and planted in your garden this time of year. We are happy to advise and suggest. As we rev up our wagons one more time to collect our visions for next year’s dreams, we find that THIS is the time to score some really good stuff!
