Green Grown | Mother Earth Gardens

What's Green?

Eco-mellow pest control, as in beneficial insects, traps, barriers, repellents, soaps, oils and all manner of natural solutions. The goal is to develop a balanced/diverse ecosystem in your garden, to provide natural pest and annoyance regulation. All of our products are safe for you, your kids, your pets and our collective environment.

The scoop on recycling plastic pots and why we need your help: While it is the right thing to do, recycling planting pots is costly. For the recyclers, the machinery is expensive, the work is dirty, hard on employees and spews dust everywhere. The garden stores foot the bill for sorting and delivering the pots. Please do your part by returning pots free of dirt and debris and stacked according to size and shape. That way we won't end up with a crazy pile that we have to pay someone to sort. We'll chip in the delivery charge for getting them to Savage.

What's Grown?

As we've moved things around the store this midsummer, we've all commented on the interesting selection of plants that late June and July often brings. No it's not the blitz of early May, but it's a slower, more thoughtful meander around the store. You can really consider all the options for your shady front (or back) yard, rejuvenate your containers with some decadent tropicals, or just look around and think. We carry annuals all season, and continue to add to our selection of trees, shrubs and perennials until you just can't plant another thing.

What are the goods?

Water, water, water. Wish it would rain. But we have great options for when it doesn't: All rubber Dramm hoses, great spray heads, a new recycled plastic perennial sprinkler, soaker hoses for those of us who cannot bear to move the sprinkler one more time, and timers to turn everything off so you don't soak your basement, too. Here's a link to a good, concise Organic Gardening watering article: http://www.organicgardening.com/feature/0,7518,s1-2-10-1573,00.html. (SEE THE LINKS PAGE)

Don't forget the birds! They need fresh water in their bird-baths this time of year.
