Welcome!
A heartfelt “Thank You” to all of our supporters who made this year’s plant sale a big success! We hope to see you again next year.
Our home is the beautiful and historic Village of Pinehurst, located in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Known as the home of American golf and the longleaf pine ecosystem, its temperate climate makes gardening a popular activity.
Blooms, Blooms, Blooms
If you bought a mandevilla at our plant sale you’ll want to know how to encourage it to bloom all summer. This beautiful tricolor mandevilla is a stunner climbing on a mailbox post every summer. The trick to having a profusion of blooms is to feed it with a bloom-boosting fertilizer once every two weeks.
Favorite Magazines and Books
“From a New York Times bestselling nature writer comes a celebration of what goes on outside in the dark, from blooming moon gardens to nocturnal salamanders, from glowing foxfire and synchronous fireflies that blink in unison like an orchestra of light.” A fascinating book about what’s lurking in the darkness just outside our doors. Makes you want to stay up late and venture outside to explore. This book will make you appreciate the dark skies we are fortunate to live under. And as an added bonus, it was written by a Western North Carolina author. We support our own.
Summer Plant Care
The planter in the picture is the one we sold at the plant sale. It will fill out and be covered in blooms in several weeks. Fertilizing, deadheading and pruning will encourage growth and flowering for the remainder of the summer. Use a bloom booster fertilizer as mentioned for the mandevilla. The petunias and pentas should be deadheaded when the blooms fade but the vinca doesn’t need it. If the planter starts to look leggy in July you can cut if back by 1/3 to encourage new growth. It should look good as new two weeks after pruning.
