Great combos for winter planters
Try some of these combos for planters if you're stuck for ideas at the garden shop... Supreme sky blue pansy with a smaller viola, say Penny orange (an absolute knockout of a color!) mixed with a little curly parsley - simple and effective. More pizazz can be added by using any of the beautiful lettuce varieties now available - a chartreuse green such as Elite Simpson would be a wonderful addition! Want brighter colors? Try Matrix citrus mix - a mix of orange, bright yellow and white pansys, with a bit of rose thrown in to add depth. Remember to think about what will be blooming around your planters in the spring to help you decide color choices. Have fun!

Great gardening weekend
It's going to be a great weekend for gardening! It's time to plan your spring garden - in addition to all the great pansy varieties out there, you'll also find supporting players such as snapdragons (great for cut flowers when they bloom!), ornamental kales - lacinato is a great one with blue/green foliage that's also edible, curly parsley to add that punch of bright green foliage, and so much more! We still have some incredible pumpkins and gourds - who knew there were so many shapes and sizes??! We're excited about the new season and hope to see you this weekend!
