Here we Grow Again!

Looking outside today, you wouldn't know it's still winter. The fact is, we have a month of winter left to go before we can ring in a new season. But who cares what the calendar tells us--spring is on the way! Hopefully--and we've got our fingers crossed--the beautiful weather we've been enjoying as of late is a harbinger of things to come!

That said, we at Vander Giessen Nursery are proud to have opened our doors for our 72nd season at 9:00 yesterday morning. We currently have primroses, pansies, Jackson and Perkins roses and deciduous trees in stock. Now is a great time to browse our rose selection and pick out the latest and best varieties! Check out the rose page on our website (www.vandergiessennursery.com) under "Plants" to see what we have to offer this season.

Now is also the time to visit our nursery and place your order for custom-planted hanging baskets. If you know what you want, why take the chance that we might not have it available when you come to shop later in the spring? We're happy to let you browse our selection of basket stuffers and pick out the custom mix you want!

So stop by, browse our newly-arriving selection of plants, and start to plan for what you'll do in your garden this year. Spring is in the air!
