Greetings!
It is officially summer! I know it doesn't exactly feel like it today - hang in there, the sun is coming out  tomorrow (hmmm, I think there is a song about that). Tuesday was the summer solstice and the longest day of the year. Now, I don't want to alarm anyone, but the days are now getting shorter! (If I was really mean, I would tell you that we could see snow again in about 4 months. Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Speaking of summer, you all should be outside and enjoying it as much as possible. It can be a really busy time with vacations, family reunions, kid's activities, etc. So, relax and enjoy your time outside and let Otten Bros. do the work for you. Our Landscape Department Designers & Crews are in full swing designing and building patios, fire pits, installing all types of plant material and just making beautiful outdoor spaces for our customers to spend time in this summer.
Contact our Landscape Department today to set up your FREE consultation. You can be enjoying your new landscape for the resto of the summer, fall and right up until the winter solstice! |

Color Your Summer Beautiful
Damaged by hail and wind, died because they didn't get watered over the weekend, dog laid on them or dug them up, just haven't had time to plant, big party coming up...
The reasons to need fresh blooming color in your yard are endless. However, you needn't wander endlessly looking for beautiful annuals. There is only one place to shop (ok, actually 2 places), Otten Bros. and The Flower Farm are filled with fresh blooming crops of 6in & 8in summer annuals.
Check out Val, Otten Bros. Annual Department Supervisor, in the photo. She is holding 3 pots of our fresh shipment of 8in summer annuals. Just gorgeous - and so are the plants! They are perfect for sprucing up your yard for your big 4th of July shindig or replacing what Rover dug up!
Val and her staff are ready to help you. Do you have any questions or concerns about your annuals or veggies? Stop in, give Val a call (952-473-5425) or email her!

Stop the Swatting
 The attack of the 'Minnesota State Bird' is well underway. Are you ready to take back your yard from invading mosquitoes? You can enjoy your patio, swing set, picnics & barbecues, fire pit, campsite and other outdoor areas this summer without drenching yourself or your kids in bug spray.
Our Garden Center Manager, Kari Line, swears by Mosquito Beater. She uses it at her home and at the lake so her family, especially her active 4 year old, can enjoy being outside all summer long. Apply either the granular (one container treats up to 4,000 sq. ft.) or the hose end-ready to spray (one bottle treats up to 5,000 sq. ft.). Both applications have a nice smell and are quick and easy to apply - no mixing! Mosquito Beater is a repellant and will not harm beneficial insects.
So, for your next party or family BBQ in the backyard, beat the mosquitoes by using Mosquito Beater. The best way to enjoy summer is mosquito-free! |
