Our crew started a little greenhouse maintenance today! Part 1: Out with the old plastic that has been in place since we relocated the nursery in 2011.

A low of 27 degrees last night triggered the synchronized leaf drop Ginkgo trees are famous for. If you are lucky to catch the mass leaf fall in progress, it's as if the sky is raining gold!

We grow several dwarf and one full size Ginkgo trees in our garden. These are beautiful, fascinating "living fossils" that are believed to have been on Earth 150 million years ago! Our Ginkgos are currently the most brilliant colored I have ever seen them! Ginkgos are known for their golden fall color, but in my experience, it can be hit or miss. This year is a big hit! Ginkgos have a unique habit of dropping all of their leaves in synchrony, usually withing a 24 hour period after a hard freeze. Will this happen on Saturday after the predicted freeze Friday night? Stay tuned!

Another beautiful Phalaenopsis orchid has just started blooming in the shop. Commonly called Moth Orchids because the large, flat flowers resemble moths, this is one of the easiest orchids to grow and bloom. Household temperatures and humidity will suit, near an east or west window, with a thorough watering once per week. Easy!

If you've noticed we've been a little quiet lately, there is good reason...we are hard at work preparing the nursery for winter AND Josh has been working for weeks getting everything ready to update our website for spring 2027! See that number in the screenshot below? 108 is how many new and returning hostas that will be coming to our website very soon! Among them are new introductions from Rod Kuenster, Don Rawson, Dan Wols, Danny Van Eechaute, Joanna Kovalcsik, Mike Vasey, Christina Brinkmann, Noah Schwartz, Don Dean, Jeff Moore, Doug Ruff, and more...plus a whole new Bob Solberg Collection for 2027! Our goal is to reveal the updated online catalog Sunday, November 1st. Josh has a lot of photos to process, though, so he may run a day or two behind :D It won't be long!
