GREEN THUMB THURSDAY: February is for Fruit Trees!

February is for Fruit trees and the Big Berry Bonanza at My Garden Nursery. Hundreds of bare root fruit trees have just arrived at most local nurseries. Bare root trees are great because they are lightweight, easy to transport, and easy to transplant into your garden. They also establish faster than plants from a pot and are a great value for your dollar, giving you tasty fresh fruit faster!

Visit My Garden Nursery to learn all about selecting, planting and pruning February 3rd and 10th with Larry Clark, past owner of Bakerview Nursery. Then, complimentary apple tasting and yummy jam on homemade scones from the Purple Flamingo Cafe!
