The Garden Center
has created wonderful display gardens that wind across a sloped
garden area at the end of our nursery. Many of us have just this type of
garden area living here in the foothills. If you have ever been
puzzled as to what to plant on this type of terrain, come and see the charming
plantings created for this display garden. As you drive by the
nursery, the colors in the garden, the height and different growing
structures grab your attention; you want to stop! So come on in! Truly a four-season garden
display, you can see something of interest in every season of the year.
Textures, different heights, a medley of assorted green hues also add to a
garden's interest. Imagine these in your garden setting.
Perennials, ground
covers, grasses, annuals, vegetables, roses, vines, herbs; you will find
all this and more planted in an appealing design at the Ridge Road Garden
Center's Display Garden. Fragrant Daphne, Sweet Olive, and Sedum Autumn Joy
are wonderful four-season plants; Mahonia's
notched leaves are wonderful in the garden, and turn red in the cool fall air;
shrubs like Viburnums are
magnificent stalwart plants blooming when not much else is in the winter
landscape; the Snowberry shrub has surprising white berries and the hardy perennial
Snowball shrub is delightful in a home garden, striking against the
verdant green of its leaves. Pansies and Petunias are perky most of the year,
Columbine is colorful in spring, and
mums and asters bring fall color! Come by soon and see how the 'bones' of the garden make
great structural interest and how some plants help to feed the birds on cold
winter days.
Visit our display garden; see how a four-season
garden can increase garden enjoyment throughout the year. Bulbs can be planted
in fall for a great
spring show! Stagger your plantings of bulbs, corms, and rhizomes for
extended spring and summer blooms. Try new bulbs every year; there are so many
spectacular varieties to enhance your gardens. You will never tire of
them.
Check out Daphne
shrubs, they love
the cooler weather, and are wonderful in early spring with small flowers
that carry great fragrance. Rhodos are wonderful in gardens, with
gorgeous spring bloom as are their cousins, the Azalea. We are continuing to
plant the display gardens with you in mind. Talk with one of our skilled gardeners soon to help with your garden
designs.
Shop year
round for great
garden selections! Lavenders,
Butterfly Bush, and Trumpet flower vine burst with blooms in
summer and
entice butterflies to your garden. Plant Asters,
Calendula, Cyclamen, and Mums for garden interest
well
into winter.
Among the groundcovers that
mature quickly, do well on slopes, and require little care are
Alyssum, St. John's Wort, Vinca, Portulaca, and Verbena.
See our great selections for the Shade Garden! Think 'Grasses' for a
garden statement; add interest with these low maintenance plants for sunny
garden areas. In winter, there are havens for birds with their seeds.
