Fall

Well our Fall Nursery and Perennial Sale was an overwhelming success. 25-70% all items in our nursery, and 25% off perennials. There are still some great deals to be had and although the sale shrub and trees do not carry a guarantee, we can still arrange planting or delivery for an additional fee.

So far we have had half of our garden lectures. Hopes helpful perennial suggestions were warmly received. And Scotts lecture made everybody want to bring nature inside to enjoy year round.



We just received our first shipment of pumpkins and cornstalks, along with straw bales and Indian Corn. The smell of fall is in the air.

As the nights get colder, remember to bring tender plants indoors, or protect them with our Harvest Guard Blankets.

September Timely Tips

Spring may be considered the season of renewal but did you know just how much you can do now to renew your lawn & landscape? September is an excellent time to aerate, de-thatch, fertilize and seed or sod your lawn. VanPutte’s Countryside grass seed mixture is the best! Weather conditions are also ideal for applying broadleaf weed control (do not seed and use weed control at the same time, however). Container gardens can also be refreshed. Replaced leggy or spent annuals with beautiful choices from VanPutte’s, such as winter pansies, ornamental kale & cabbage, fall asters, sedums and mums.

* Incorporate organic matter, such as manure and compost, into garden areas now as the warm temperatures will allow it to begin breaking down, ensuring that nutrients will be available for plant growth next year.
* Now is a great time to plant trees, shrubs, perennials and spring flowering bulbs.
