We've had some extreme weather recently!

And all of our gardens might be dealing with different microclimates depending on your altitude, vegetation, topography, proximity to water-bodies, and structures or protection. You might have experienced wind scald or sun-scorch, excess rain or high humidity or even hail, cold damage or targeted drought! All in the last few weeks!! And while there is only so much we as gardeners can do (extra watering, wind protection, covering tender plants...) sometimes we have to give ourselves a bit of grace. And work with the challenges of nature!

So in this spirit, we are offering sales on select items that can really handle some of the extremes!
