This weekend - CONEFLOWERPALOOZA (+ bean-to-bar chocolate tasting).

This might be the PERFECT weekend to plant perennials. So we're giving everyone that visits a FREE native Coneflower for your garden. You'll love it.

Also, have you ever had bean-to-bar chocolate? on Saturday from 11 - 2, you can try Cocoa Manna bean-to-bar right here at the farm - it's a whole different thing. A better thing.

As usual, we have hundreds of gorgeous and interesting perennials - stop by Friday, Saturday, or Sunday from 11 - 5. Fun!

Happy Mother's Day, Morningsiders!

This is the "big weekend" for most nurseries like us. Why? Well, it's excellent gardening weather, and it feels like everything is blooming and bright. Some examples:

-Pentas - for the butterflies - in 4 colors
-Geraniums in all the colors
-Coleus is always bright and fun
-Salvia blooms forever (disclosure: not really forever)
-Petunias and Million Bells a go go
-Pink Turtlehead (pictured above)
-Or maybe you're looking for a great, hardy native for shade or sun? How about Red and Blue Cardinal Flower?

Last reco for this week - do you need a groundcover that can take some shade? Green and Gold could be for you.

Finally - Mark your calendars for the Plant Swap - June 7th - at 2 p.m. More info on that next week!

We are open for Spring hours, everyday 10-5!

We asked ChatGPTs new image engine to create some flyers for our Spring season now that it's full-on garden party every day time. Did AI nail it, or still not ready for prime time?

Gorgeous day for gardening. God bless Spring.
