A Season of Thanks

What a whirlwind 2020, has been! The unprecedented times of COVID-19 have tested the limits of the individual and community. Here at Trees Today we have masked up, kept our distance, and meticulously sanitized our spaces in order to keep our customers and staff safe. 

The world may have stopped in its tracks, but our gardens didn’t. Customers new and old took advantage of their time at home to beautify their landscapes and looked for ideas and guidance throughout the season. Our wonderful staff revel in sharing their knowledge with each other and our customers and appreciate all the questions, answers, and new information shared this season. We are never done learning and our gardens are never complete! 

During this season of thanks, we would like to thank our customers for choosing Trees Today for all their landscaping needs. We look forward to working with you next season!

Wishing you all happiness, good health, and safety this holiday season!

Annuals Galore

We have no doubt that Trees Today Nursery has the largest assortment of annuals in the area.  We have over 100 varieties and they have been selling like crazy.   Some of our favorites for pollinators are the cuphea (vermillionaire in particular) for the hummingbirds and the Tithonias (Mexican Sunflowers) for the Monarchs.   For unusual container plants, the Laurentia and Mercadonia are great.  They are  tiny little flowers, one blue and one yellow, that will fill your containers in no time and bloom and bloom.   Also, of course, we have all the old favorites like geraniums, zinnias, marigolds, lantanas, lisisanthus, and the list goes on.    Stop in while the selecti0n is still great.
