This is the first day of our fall sale and I think almost all of our Garden Club members will be impressed with the selection of plants included in our 50% off sale.
Be sure to take a look in the Owl Barn Market while you're here at the nursery to look at the fresh produce and browse the aisles for some of the gift items and cooking accessories.
As time goes on more locally grown apples will be displayed as well as ample cider, pumpkins, squash and other related food items.
The coolness of fall signals a resuming of our planting in Wolf Creek Gardens just down the hill from the Owl Barn along with a "push" to get the various trees, shrubs and perennials labeled.
It was a spectacular display in May with the blooming Creeping Phlox, Azaleas, Rhododendron, Dogwoods, Redbuds and shade perennials blooming in the garden although many of you did not see it.
The sad fact about some of the native trees in the garden is that they are Ash trees which will soon be killed by the Emerald Ash Borer which is an invasive insect that will bore holes in the trees and kill them.
This insect came out of Detroit, Michigan from pallets of sewer pipe imported from (yes, you guessed it) China.
One bright spot is that we will replant with disease resistant American Elm and Tulip Poplars which are very fast growing and stately.
Hope to see you at the sale this weekend!
