Shelby Landscaping and Garden Center

I haven't much time for picture taking, but here are a few more images. 

I put an essential element in place today at the new place, music. Amazing what a difference it makes to hear our special mix of tunes again! If you care to take a listen it is

Okay, I snapped a few pictures yesterday and today of the demolition and
construction as we ready our new location.

If you've been by our old location during the past couple weeks, no, a bomb didn't go off, and we are all ok! :)

We have been busy tearing up the old place and setting up a new garden center; all during a great stretch of weather that has permitted our landscape crews to keep very busy!

We are getting great reviews from visitors to our Haunted Garden. It's odd how hearing screams echoing from every part of the garden center makes me smile.

Maybe you've noticed some strange changes the past week at the garden center. We are preparing for Something special beginning September 28th. Friday and Saturday nights plus Halloween the garden center will be transformed into a Haunted Garden .

The Shelby County Art in the Garden tour was this past Sunday June 24th. Take a peek at some of the sites in our garden gallery here

Shelby county Ohio has seen another one of those early spring warm ups. Not only are the forsythia blooming, but ornamental pears, cherries, and some of the early crabapples.

Alas Wednesday night it will drop to freezing temperatures. We will have 4 or 5 nights in a row with bitter cold. This will burn a lot of the tender foliage on plants like lilacs and it will shorten the blooms on weeping cherries.

Seed collecting has enabled varieties of plants to passed down from generation to generation. Heirloom tomato seeds are shared amongst families and friends. Favorite fragrant flowers are traded and shared.

An update on the Emerald Ash Borer situation.  The affected area now is in excess of 40,000 square miles with around 20 million ash trees killed by EAB.  Emerald Ash Borer has already been detected in a quarter of Ohio's counties.   The Ohio Department of Agriculture has designated 10,000 ash detection trees.  It is likely as ODA continues removal and peeling of these ash detection trees additional EABs will be found.

 

Quarantine boundaries will change with these new borer finds.  You may want to familiarize yourself with regulations and community impact.
