Welcome to September’s Newsletter
Whew! This summer has really flown by. We hope that all of you have been able to find some time to relax and enjoy your ponds and gardens. Now that September is here, fall is approaching. This means that pond and water feature owners have to start thinking about fall preparation.
Here are a 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 (we sell it at the nursery). Continue feeding fish until the temperature hits 50-55 degrees (typically mid-October).
- Fertilize your lilies and other aquatic plants one more time in September, to continue to get flowers.
- It is still a great time to put plants in the ground because you’ll only have a few weeks left to water before the October rains start. We have our end of the season special: buy three plants (terrestrial or aquatic), get one free. It’s not too late to enjoy more life in your pond or around the garden!
- Fish are buy three, get one free (fish $25+ only).
- All display fountains are 15% off.
- All fall decor is buy one, get one free.
- Fall is an excellent time to hire our landscape company, Falling Water Designs, to finish (or start) those landscape projects you were unable to complete during the busy spring and summer months. Falling Water Designs works year round, whether it’s creating garden designs for new clients, cleaning and repairing ponds, or installing ponds, patios, fire-pits, etc. Let us assist your needs!
This month’s How-To helps you prepare for the fall and winter seasons. Our What’s New And On Sale is always changing and our inventory is limited, so be sure to check out our featured decor and garden art. For information on classes, events, and weddings, click here.
Take a look at our landscaping team’s Most Recent projects. They have been working non-stop this season!
