Fruit Sale and Sangria

Tuesday June 30th we'll be celebrating summer and our fruit tree sale at our Tuesday Tasting. Come in and try White Sangria. Remember tasting time is from 3:00 - 5:00 so come early and enjoy your beverage while shopping. Yesterday's tasting we ran out of the crisp La Crema Chardonnay right at 5pm and everyone seemed to enjoy it along with the basil pesto. Crispy and spicy went hand in hand.

Tuesday Tasting

This Tuesday's Tasting is all about RED.  Stop by and relax with a glass of something red, be it wine or juice, just take some time out of your afternoon for yourself and a friend.  I picked up a nice red wine just yesterday while out for an afternoon with my husband and friends. I think you'll enjoy a glass

                                                             Tasting is from 3:00 - 5:00 

Half Price Rose Sale

All roses in stock, yes every size color style and fragrance are on SALE.  

We have cut back some but with Enrique's care they are already showing new growth and another round of flowers are budding and blooming.  We are not able to ship any more this year but you can pick up a great bargain by coming into the nursery.  We need to make room for an area of the nursery that has begun to grow very rapidly, California Native Plants.  Watch for this area to expand over the next couple of weeks.  It will be located up by the cactus and succulents which also are getting more nursery space. 

Come in early for the best selections, if you don't think you have space for a rose how about one in a container?  With the right size pot, soil, and fertilizer it's possible.  Come in and ask Enrique for his recommendations.

SALE BEGINS TODAY 6/6/09 and runs until we are sold out or 10/15/09 whichever comes first, I hope the sale ends 6/30/09, that would mean everyone took advantage of these great SAVINGS.

Where the Unusual is the Usual

In our earlier days we would always describe our nursery as 'where the unusual is the usual' while that hasn't changed, we still pride ourselves on having unusual and unique plants and other gardening items. This month I've brought in something very 'unusual' because it's not gardening related. Yet because of the uniqueness I wanted to make it available to all of you. The photos don't do the necklace/bracelet/belt justice, you need to pick it up and try it out for yourself. What you leave your home with may not be what you come back with in regards to the design and how you are wearing it. We found this item on our trip to South Africa last year and our friend was able to get some sent over, we have seen them in jewlery stores and craft shows for much more than what we are offering them to you for.
Pick up more than one for yourself or as a gift, $25.00 each or $20.00 each if you buy 2 or more.

Exciting New Book at the Nursery

We received a phone call late last week from Bunny Henderson, the author of "Digging It" How to garden your way out of the recession. Bunny's son lives in Mission Hills so she was familiar with our nursery and realized our saying of "Life's a Garden, Dig It!" seemed to fit perfectly with her book. Josh dropped by with a copy of the book and we all found it to be a great item to bring in this week for Garden Walk. Learn how to plan your vegetable garden, gather the right tools, build raised beds or garden in containers. The book will teach you how to fertilize, water, and most importantly 'harvest' the rewards of your labor. We are expecting the book to be in stock on Saturday, just in time for Mission Hills Garden Walk. Next time Bunny is in town we will arrange for her to come into the nursery, you can bring your book back in and have her sign it.
