Fruits for a Home Garden
"Useful Gardens" is a simple, casual collection of observations, ideas and garden lore from our micro-farm in coastal Virginia where I grow fruits, flowers and vegetables.... along with a few chickens and one cheerful peacock. I am constantly in the process of simplifying my gardening, my philosophy and my life. From professional commercial growing to full-scale manic gardening to organic landscape rehabilitation all the way down to learning to live gently in my world and to accept my gardens and their inhabitants (including me) with all their flaws... I continue to appreciate anew that gardening is one of, if not the foremost of, the healing arts. There is no art form more creative, demanding, valuable or satisfying than creating beautiful, useful gardens and landscapes.
PLANT THE RIGHT TREE
Planting the wrong tree in the wrong place can be very costly. Not just the cost of the tree--but future pruning, removal, root problems and many other issues. GARDEN VIEW NURSERY has thousands of trees and hundreds of varieties to choose from. The nursery has very descriptive signage throughout the entire nursery with pictures of their flowers and our own durability ratings derived from our 30 years of landscaping experience.
Our knowledgeable sales staff will help you pick the right tree for your situation. Our experienced crew can deliver and professionally install your tree. We can also install root guards (helps keep roots controlled), deep water conduits (encourages deep roots), and soggy soil root protectors (devices & procedures to reduce problems from poor draining soil).
PLANT THE RIGHT PLANT THAT WILL LIVE!
Do you kill your plants? Maybe it is because you are picking the wrong ones. Not all plants are durable. At Garden View you will find that we have signage with our own durability ratings derived from 30 years of landscaping experience. Our plants are grown locally and are acclimated to our climate. They are not grown in a greenhouse or another area and shipped here. They are not overly pumped with fertilizer and other products so they look great on the shelf but are not hardened off to tolerate our climate and normal abuse.
PRICE IS IMPORTANT but there is a lot more to it than that.
All trees and plants are not equal; even in our own nursery. At one nursery you may have a larger plant or tree with more robust flowers but the plant can be pumped so that it looks good on the shelf or at the nursery. Though this plant may be able to be sold at a lower cost (because it took less time to grow) or you think it has more flowers, it may not be as good of a deal as a slightly smaller plant that is acclimated to your climate. Our plants are not overly pumped, have a more mature root system, a larger caliber, are pruned correctly, are hardened off, and are simply more durable. You can be assured Garden View has very low prices, wide selection, and our staff will help you pick the best plant for your needs out of our extensive inventory.
WATER WISE PLANTING Most of the plants we use on a regular basis need a lot less water than we give them. Many, if not most of our favorite, most durable, and blooming plants are very water wise. The plants at Garden View Nursery are labeled for their water needs.
