It's National Pollinator Week
Celebrate with Plants!

 It’s amazing to think about the work pollinators do for the planet. Our dinner is dependent on them, but their small size makes them easy to overlook. Pollinators and insects in general are declining at an alarming rate with some of the issues being habitat loss and pesticide use. The number of bears roaming around Asheville is a stark reminder of the results of habitat loss. Bears are extremely visible compared to bees and insects – but the habitat of pollinators was displaced too, along with the bear habitat.
The good news: 85% of the land east of the Mississippi River is in private ownership. If we put all those yards together – that’s a LOT of habitat potential. If we fill that habitat with plants (especially native plants) that support pollinators and other wildlife, imagine how lively and lovely our yards and decks would become. Plant a beautiful garden that fills you with delight and nurtures nature too. And absolutely yes, even a few pots on your balcony helps.
Bit by little bit, each of us can make a difference.
Our Perennials are 10% off thru Friday, June 30.

 FROM WILMA: Throughout history almost all cultures have been inspired by butterflies that appear in folk tales, myths, and spiritual teachings. The butterfly symbol has been used to represent spring, freshness, freedom, rebirth, renewal, hope, love, and change. In some languages the term for butterfly translates as “dancing flowers”.
 Butterflies, skippers, and moths are all members of the order Lepidoptera. Butterflies especially are colorful and active during the day in warm months. Butterfly watching, though not as likely to match that of bird watching, has gained in popularity in recent years.
“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty” #Maya Angelou.
Butterflies pollinate flowers and caterpillars (the larval stage in the butterfly life cycle) provide food for birds and other organisms. Planting a variety of both nectar plants for adult butterflies and host plants for caterpillars will ensure viewing pleasure as butterflies visit your garden.

Last Week of Sale! 10% Off Perennials
Our Perennial sale ends Friday, June 30. Get 10% Off Perennials now!
We have a bountiful supply of perennials in stock and waiting to go home with you to make your garden beautiful. Shop our broad selection of sun, part sun, and shade plants to boost all the areas of your landscape.
Perennials come back every year. After trees & shrubs, perennials are the mainstay of the garden. Generally we recommend planting a group of 3-7 of the same plant to maximize impact in your flower bed - seen from up close and from a distance. For pollinators, plant a minimum 3-4' wide patch of the same flower as they love to feed efficiently.
During National Pollinator Week remember to plant for the bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Seeing these pollinators in your garden will make your heart jump for joy! We have lots of native pollinator plants in stock too. Contemplate creating a Certified Pollinator Habitat through Asheville Greenworks/BeeCity USA - Asheville.
*Perennial sale excludes butterfly bush, mini-conifers, vines, and shrubs.

Favorite Privacy Screening Plants
Some of our favorite screening plants are Schip Laurels, Green Giant Arborvitae, Emerald Green Arborvitae, and Degroot's Spire Arborvitae. Both Schip Laurels and Green Giant Arborvitae are faster growing. Emerald Green and Degroot's Spire Arborvitae are slower growing, but they will fit in narrow spaces.
- Schip Laurel: A broadleaf evergreen that is very amenable to pruning - so you can easily keep it a certain height or width. Grows to 12' tall x 6' wide without pruning. Full to part sun.
- Green Giant Arborvitae: Evergreen conifer. Under good conditions will grow 3-5' per year. Grows to 40' tall x 15' wide. Full sun.
- Degroot's Spire Arborvitae: Evergreen Conifer. Great for tighter spaces, and makes a pretty backdrop for perennial beds. Grows to 18-25' tall x 3' wide. Full sun.
- Emerald Green Arborvitae: Evergreen Conifer. Great for tighter spaces, and makes a pretty backdrop for perennial beds. Grows to 18-25' tall x 4-5' wide. Full sun.

Worried about winter damaged plants?
Staff members are seeing new growth on some of their plants/branches that they thought were dead, so remain cautious about digging up and discarding any plants. Warmer soil and warmer June air temperatures help promote new growth on plants that appear to be dead, plus new growth may be pushed out from the roots (especially crape myrtle, hydrangea, and fig roots). This video was produced after the deep freeze at Christmas and discusses what to to look for.
