Norfolk Island Pine | Araucaria heterophylla

Norfolk Pines

An Alternative Christmas Tree!

A tropical evergreen tree that is often grown indoors, they can grow outdoors during the warmer seasons if they are protected from the afternoon sun. When growing this tree indoors, it requires bright indirect light, regular watering, and to be kept away from ac/heat vents to avoid needles from drying out. It is often enjoyed indoors this time of year as an alternative Christmas tree and decorated with ribbon or ornaments.

Delphinums & Poppies

Cool Weather Blooms!

It is time to switch out any warm weather annuals you may still have and replace them with cool weather favorites like delphiniums and poppies. These annual flowers will last you from now through mid spring. They make a gorgeous addition in garden beds, container gardens, and also as cut-flowers indoors.

See more annuals here.

Texas Arbor Day

Fall is for Trees!

Historians trace Arbor Day’s origins back to the fifth century when Swiss villagers gathered to plant groves of oak trees. Adults turned the event into a festival and children were given treats as a reward for their help planting trees.

However, Arbor Day didn’t make its way to Texas until the late 1880s. We now celebrate it on the first Friday of November. Since we experience extreme temperatures in Texas, particularly in the summer, fall and winter are the prime time to get trees in the garden! Stop in this weekend to shop various Texas native trees including Western Soapberry, Redbuds, Roughleaf Dogwoods, Longleaf Pines, and more!

Check out our tree planting video guide here.

Fall Lawn Care

Give Your Lawn a Little TLC!

Top dressing your lawn with a 1/4”- 1/2” layer of compost will add microbial activity back into the ground and loosen the soil to help encourage the grass to fill in, especially recommended if the summer heat hurt your lawn. Using a fertilizer will help strengthen and fill in your lawn before winter. We are recommend using Micro Life Brown Patch. This organic fertilizer will not only feed your lawn, but help prevent any diseases that occur in cooler temperatures. This can be applied around the end of September. To treat Brown Patch you can use either Revitalize (Liquid) or MicroGro (Granule).

WEEDS?: If you have problems with weeds, keep them well mowed. A healthy, organic lawn will choke out weeds. Apply spreadable corn gluten, or liquid, in early November as a preemergent herbicide, this will help keep seeds from germinating.

It’s also a great time to put down Rye grass seed! For those who are wanting to quickly fill in the bare spots in your lawn you may consider over seeding with Annual Rye. Broadcast 10 lbs of Rye seed for every 1000 Sq Ft. Remember, do not put down any pre-emergence when putting down Rye, wait until it starts to germinate. Wait for day time temperatures to be no higher than 80 degrees before seeding Rye.
