AUGUST IS THE GATEWAY TO THE FALL PLANTING SEASON & THE GATES ARE OPENING<\/h3>\n

Here we are in the last full week of August. What a month August has been, especially when it comes to rainfall. It has been a record month. And, most of our plants are very grateful for all this water, especially after the dry and hot month of July.<\/p>\n

So, with September comes the beginning of the FALL IS FOR PLANTING<\/strong> campaign. So many people are surprised to learn that fall is an ideal planting season. But it\u2019s true! Here are 6 good reasons why it is true:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Warm soil + cool air = \u00a0happy plants<\/li>\n
  2. Plants have a head start with development before next spring.<\/li>\n
  3. We have fewer insect pests and diseases in the fall.<\/li>\n
  4. For us planters, working hard with planting is more pleasant in the cooler temperatures.<\/li>\n
  5. Plants planted in the fall have a better drought tolerance. Plants get a 6 to 8 month of root growth before the hot, dry weather of next summer.<\/li>\n
  6. Plants planted in the fall are less water-stressed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    LET\u2019S KEEP VIRGINIA GREEN & GROWING<\/strong> by<\/p>\n

    \u201cPLANTING A LITTLE HAPPINESS\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0this Fall<\/p>\n

    Our environmental benefits of planting shrubs, trees, and plants include a healthier environment, cleaner air, and reduced stormwater runoff.<\/p>\n

    Are you ready to plant? We are ready to assist you with all your plants and plant products right now. Come see us. Let\u2019s make this fall a successful planting season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
