 WELCOME 2025!  May You Be the Best Year   YET!!!!!

The calendar has changed to a new year and perhaps it is time for changes to this website.   One change under consideration is combining months such as January and February as you see here and updating the website during the months as needed.  Another consideration is adding  a feature each month on one of our suppliers .  This month we will highlight our major lawn and garden supplier the Wyatt-Quarles company.  The changes may not be major, but we would love to know what you think of them and more of what you would like to see on this webpage.

JANUARY QUOTES

We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives… not looking for flaws, but for potential.
— Ellen Goodman

"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer."
— Albert Camus

“Thank goodness for the first snow, it was a reminder–no matter how old you became and how much you’d seen, things could still be new if you were willing to believe they still mattered.”
— Candace Bushnell 

FEBRUARY QUOTES

 "The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within." — William C. Bryant

"A small bird twitters on a leafless spray, across the snow-waste, breaks a gleam of gold. What token can I give my friend today? But February blossoms, pure and cold? Frail gifts from Nature's half-reluctant hand. I see the signs of spring about the land. These chill snowdrops, fresh from wintry bowers are the forerunners of a world of flowers." — Sarah Doudney

 “There is always in February some one day, at least, when one smells the yet distant, but surely coming, summer.”
— Gertrude Jekyll

In business since 1881 and headquartered in Garner, North Carolina, Wyatt Quarles Seed Company is one of our long-time suppliers, and we have received shipments from them every Friday since moving to our first town location.  Not only do they supply seeds but almost everything else you may need in the way of lawn and garden needs.  With deliveries every Friday, if there is something you need we can have it for you within a week.  They are usually able to provide turnaround on most requests that quickly.  In rare instances it may take more than a week, but they will work diligently to get us what we need to pass on to to you.  They are strictly a wholesale company and you can read more about them at this link:

The Lawn and Garden in January/February

Much of the work in these two months takes place indoors with planning and looking through seed catalogs or at websites.  But some work can take place outdoors during milder days.  Beds can be cleaned and areas refreshed with fresh mulch or pine straw.  Rock for borders can be place and expand the size of your planting areas.  Later in the month cole crops will begin to appear in both seed and slip forms.  Spring shrub shipments can take place in late February in preparation for spring plantings.  Come in to visit us early for the best selection of seed potatoes and onions and check on our supply of seeds.

Here at the garden center and florist new shipments of spring flags and decor begin to arrive.  Silk arrangements for spring are completed in containers and wreaths.  The florist's main focus is on preparing for the Valentine's Day rush.  Plans are being put together now for specials to be made available during the Valentine season.  Check here on the website later or on Facebook or better yet give us a call in early February to see what is being offered.  AND remember with have gifts items to go along with the flowers.  Please place your early order early enough to be sure it can be filled.  They are fulfilled according to the order in which they are received. In the past cut offs have had to be made so all deliveries could be made on time.
