Winter may be one of the best times for bird-watching. With the foliage down, it is easier to see and enjoy your backyard residents. While certain species like hummingbirds migrate to warmer climates in winter, there’s still a rich diversity of birds to see year-round. These birds could use your help to make it through […]
It’s almost time to call it a wrap on 2020, and as we look forward to a new year, I wanted to talk about resolutions. Not your personal plans to eat better or exercise more in 2021, but your ambitions for your garden next year. Now is the perfect time to think about what you […]
It’s a question we often get this time of year at the nursery – should we get a cut tree or a potted tree? Each has its positives and negatives and most have to do with timing. You can have your cut tree up and in your house longer. On the other hand, even though […]
Any regular reader of this column knows that I have love in my heart for family-run businesses. Warner’s itself is now on its fourth generation of family members working at the nursery with my three sons helping out when school’s not in session.
