Locally Handcrafted Creations Available
at the Nursery
One of the most reliable shrubs in the Pacific Northwest is the twig dogwood. This large family of plants range in size from dwarf of about a foot and a half tall to varieties reaching eight to ten feet. After the foliage drops (both green leave and variegated varieties are available) you are left with brilliant stems of red, gold, orange and even coral. These sturdy stems make a great compliment plant to all sorts of conifers and broadleaf evergreens or they work perfectly as a stand alone shrub. In addition to their undeniable value in the winter garden, they are also great to mix with fresh greens in a vases, add to a paperwhite arrangement or as accents in your holiday wreath. Be sure to ask our knowledgeable staff what varieties we have available this year.

It's Time for Winter Pruning
The end of January through February is an ideal time to prune your trees and shrubs, particularly the deciduous ones. The bare limbs reveal the plant structure, allowing us to more easily see what needs attention.
The first rule of thumb is to prune out dead and diseased wood. Then you can take a step back and assess what your plant looks like.
Crossing branches that may be rubbing can be an entrance point for disease or pests. This is a good time to chose which of the crossing branches should be removed to allow the plant to grow in a healthy manner, maturing to it's best form.
