Makin’ a List and Checkin’ it Twice

Call us at 368-5908 to schedule your delivery time now! You will be able to have your choice of delivery times.
Send us your email address to info@WegmansNursery.com and we will notify you when the trees arrive so that you can be first to pick out that perfect tree. When you schedule your delivery time, let us know if you will want your tree sprayed with Cloud Cover or flocked. These must be afternoon deliveries. Cloud Cover is an anti-transpirant which will place a protective coating on the needles to keep them from losing water.
If the tree is going into a commercial building, it must be sprayed with Fire Retardant. Let us know when you schedule your delivery. (This is an afternoon delivery time, too.)
Pull out your Gunnard Tree Stand from the attic and make sure all of the pieces are there to bring with you when you come and choose your tree. Or if you don’t have a Gunnard Tree Stand, let us know when you set up your delivery time and we will hold one for you.
Need a large number of Poinsettias for that special party? Let us know the date and the quantity so that we can hold them for you.

As you are thinking of your holiday decorations remember that Wegman’s will have a full selection of Noble Fir trees, wreaths, garland, swags, centerpieces and mantlepieces. We hope that we can make this area of your Holiday planning and preparation a little more stress free.

Featured Plant: Hyacinth

The word hyacinth comes from the Greek Hyakinthos, a handsome young man who in Greek mythology was loved by the sun god Apollo. One day they were practicing throwing the discus but the jealous god of the West Wind, who was also in love with Hyakinthos, blew the discus back and it fatally wounded him. From his blood grew a flower which the god Apollo named after him.

Plant picture

Hyacinths like a rich soil (i.e. lots of organic matter in it), but they also want "dry feet." In other words, the soil underneath the bulbs should be a well draining soil ( i.e., not clayey). If yours isn't a well draining soil, make the hole even deeper and mix sand or even gravel with the soil that goes under the hyacinth bulbs, to make your bulbs happy. For bulbs which normally grow in cooler zones, you need to chill them before potting them up. This fools them into thinking winter has passed, and it's now spring.

 


Colors: Usually white, pink, peach and blue. More unusual colors to look for include dark wine purples, rosy reds, navy, egg-yolk yellows and soft oranges.

“Convict”, our feline felon, went on the sly some 10 years ago surfacing at Wegman’s Nursery now claimed as his permanent lair. As the “guard” of the Nursery, Convict can be found comfortably resting atop the cash register or skillfully “casing” the joint, keeping a watchful eye for any unwanted critters invading his stock of catnip and catmint. Our Convict certainly appreciates our clients’ patronage but much prefers their caresses and scratches!
