An Interesting Early Spring Garden

When I visit yards doing bids for the Garden Crew, our garden maintenance division, I am struck by the lack of early spring color in most yards.

I am until I remember what I realized quite a few years ago, People buy what looks good the day they visit the nursery. If it’s out of bloom forget it.

When someone visits Scenic Nursery during the nice spring days in April and May your garden looks great in April and May. If you want to make your garden interesting year round you have to schedule visits year round. Remember, in California Scenic Nursery is open 12 months of the year. Scenic Nursery is open in the cold of the winter, rain of the spring, heat of the summer and fall.

Some things you miss seeing include the old fashioned spring blooming Spireas, Forsythias, Oriental magnolias, flowering almond, yellow flowering Carolina Jessamine. There are a large number of things that are at their peak during the bad weather of the spring that most people don’t think of when adding to their garden.

I recommend a visit to Scenic Nursery every 2 weeks year-round just to see what’s different.

Two visits a month that’s all we ask!
