Plant Shopping Love

Be honest - how many times have you been in a garden center since the first of the year? There's no wrong answer. If it's more than twenty times and you're not employed there then you most likely have much of what you need to start the new gardening season. The seeds are purchased, some are started indoors, new tools ready for their digging or sharpening debut and then there are the plants. Ah, the plants. Pansies, snaps and osteos are ready for transport in your garden buggy to the check out counter and back home to open containers, boxes or beds. Don't forget the mulch (the topic of my next blog, coming soon). 

Ain't garden life grand!

This blog posting won't discourage any of your spring shopping pleasure (wherever you shop), but please be sure to save a few dollars and time for the delightful special plant sales hosted by various non-profit organizations, groups or plant societies along the Front Range this spring. Some of the sales are part of their shows or special seminars. 

Click on each link below for times and directions. Also check the Denver Post garden garden calendar each week in the Friday pull out section GROW - you'll also find my garden to do list - Punch List. That's a shameless plug if I ever saw one. I mean it, thank you for reading Punch and my blog scribbles.
