cherry tree 

Dear ,
ken longSpring is just around the corner so it's a very exciting time at L.A. Reynolds. Seeing the gorgeous cherry trees this time of year makes everyone want to plant one in their yard -- and we have great selection of many types of flowering trees and shrubs. 
 
Be sure to check out our March Calendar. This spring we're going to be offering a series of mini gardening events just about every weekend. You can bring in some pictures of your yard for inspiration from our experts, take a Walk & Talk and bring your puppy out for a parade!
 
We also hope you'll join us for our Spring Open House on April 4th and 5th. We thank you for trusting L.A. Reynolds for all of your gardening needs and we look forward to seeing you at the Showcase soon!.  - Ken Long, President

butterflyQuestions for our Expert Gardeners
Q:  How can I attract more butterflies to my garden?
A: 
To attract butterflies to your garden, you need plants that produce necture and you'll need places for butterflies to lay their eggs.  Some plants that butterflies love:  Astor, Milkweed, Butterfly Bush, Purple Coneflowers, Dogbane and more. We'll have all of these later on this spring at L.A. Reynolds. You can find lots more information about butterflies on-line. For a butterfly web site, click here.
