NEWS AND NOTES

FROM DOGWOOD VALLEY GREENHOUSE
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has lots of tomato plants and a few bell pepper plants left. These plants in gallon pots are large and strong and ready to set into your garden. Order your herbs, vegetable plants, and hanging baskets now.

We also have several new perennial friends flowering this week, as well as most of the ones listed previous weeks. The several colors of astilbe will be in bloom this week, as well as beard-tongue, carnations, and lavenders. The Sweet Williams (Dianthus) and foam flowers are still spectacular. Add some bright cheerfulness to your spring garden. Don’t forget our beautiful planters for Mother’s Day! Purchase or reserve yours now before they are gone.
