Garden Center News for 2010:
Decorative pots are on display and ready for sale-some of the old standards in new colors and a few new lines for us this year. Need something to put in those pots? We have quite a variety of houseplants to add some greenery. There are a few changes in the pond department as well. Aquascape has redone several of their chemicals, bottles and labels. For example, EcoStarter is now Pond Detoxifier, Aquaclearer is now Beneficial Bacteria for Ponds and EcoFloc is now Rapid Clear, just to name a few. So if you are looking for a particular product and can't find it, we can help. We have an excellent selection of roses from Jackson & Perkins and Weeks Roses. They are still grown here in Colorado and will be shipped to us towards the end of April in bud and bloom, ready for sale straight off the truck. We are excited about these changes and if you have any questions feel free to contact us.
