    *My tip is to know your garden centers delivery day. My customers always knew if they came Wednesday they could get plants fresh off the truck.*

    We love her! I’m not working here to get rich, my passion is plants. Sometimes we don’t even know we need help, we go in thinking this is what I want and come to find out we’re totally wrong. This was a fun, informative video. Thank you.

    I love Van Winden's and I love 6 packs. BUT, fewer and fewer plants come in 6 packs. The choices used to be endless, that's no longer the case. 4 inch seems to be what all growers have converted to. Whenever I see 6 packs it puts a big smile on my face.

    Great job with today’s episode.
    This was extremely informative; precisely for small gardeners like us located in the higher zones.
    And the manager… Her passion is written all over her. The way she holds both of her hands on her heart when talking about plants…
    Was simply priceless.
    Thanks for a great video.

    lol! I always pull out every plant to choose the best ones. I’m always amazed when others just take the first one closest to them rather than inspecting the plants.

    Good Morning ☀️
    Wow, who knew that if you soaked the lettuce plants that the roots would separate, giving so many roots to plant? Not me.
    That was really neat to learn.

    Maybe the garden center lady could give us seasonal tours, so we know what to look for at our garden centers.
    She has a great amount of knowledge and seems very helpful and friendly!loved her personality!

    Just discovered division of nursery plants! Great tip to include. I successfully divided a gallon lantana that had two plants in it, and a cane begonia that had four plants to make up the one showy nursery pot. Now I look at the soil surface more closely to see what’s really in that pot.

  • @sandraengstrand2784

    This is awesome! I am a new gardener. This gives me more confidence going into local nurseries. It can be so overwhelming 😅

    • @jeriwebb700
      @jeriwebb700 Před 11 měsíci

      When i go to the garden center, I put on ear buds and listen to music. If I see a plant i like I take a photo of the plant tag, so I can look it up online to learn more on growing it . Soon you will not feel overwhelmed anymore. I started ordering online with Proven Winners, they package their plants well, and if you have an issue with a plant, they have a guarantee and they will gladly replace it, you just need to sent them a picture of the plant. I had to do this twice, but it was my fault, not theirs. Good luck on your new hobby!
