Welcome to September’s Newsletter

Summer has finally arrived! Yeah! But in a few more days children will be returning to school! Yeah! Remember to be careful in school zones.

Our ponds, fish and gardens are doing great and we don’t want to think about upcoming Fall weather.

Here are few things to remember for September:

• As the water temperature dips below 60 degrees we want to switch back to a cool season/wheat germ food and continue feeding our fish until the temperature hits 50-55 degrees which is usually around the middle of October.
• Fertilize your lilies and other aquatic plants one more time in September to continue to get flowers.
• It’s a great time to put plants in the ground because you’ll only have a few weeks to water before the October rains start and we have all our plants on sale!
• If you were late to get a new pond started we have lots of hardy perennial aquatic plants on sale and all our fish over $25 are buy three get one free until it’s too cold to sell fish.
• Fall is an excellent time to hire our landscape company Falling Water Designs to finish (or start) those landscape projects you didn’t get done during the busy spring and summer.  Falling Water Designs works all year long installing beautiful gardens, patios, fences, landscapes, decks, and ponds.

Even though it’s a bit early we’ve included our instructions on How To do Late Summer Garden Maintenance. If you’re wanting to know what’s new in stock or current sales head over to page 3. For plants that are looking great in the garden still head over to Cool Plants section. We also still have a few up and coming events and classes for September. Don’t forget to check out our recent projects Falling Water Designs has done too!
