More Fall Bulbs are In!

More fall bulbs have come in! We currently have on hand an exciting selection of some of the more uncommon and unusual bulbs such as botanical tulips, camassia, fritillaria, cyclamen and erythronium, as well as some striking new cultivars of hybrid tulips, hyacinths and daffodils.

We hope you'll come have a look at what will become a regular fall tradition at Phoenix.

Upcoming Workshop at the Nursery
Winter Containers
Plant up a container to create winter interest
with
Cliff Thorbes

Welcome to our very popular container workshops. At this workshop Cliff will instruct you in the practical and design considerations of gardening in containers. Then each participant will design and plant up their own pot under Cliff's watchful and helpful eye. A winter container is great for the front door or walkway or for the patio where you can see it from the house. Your container will help you bridge that gap of interest from late fall through to early spring.

So if you're not going out of town for Thanksgiving come spend a few hours on Saturday with us and do up a fabulous pot to show off to your dinner guests on Sunday or Monday.
