Oak Street Garden Shop Update

It's high summer, and with stifling August heat, we're a bit lazier in our gardening activities...it's perfectly okay to put aside your gloves and enjoy some down time
In the greenhouse, we have small, concrete tabletop fountains, perfect for adding a touch of soothing, cooling water for your terrace or other outdoor area. These fountains may also attract smaller birds to the fresh, moving water. All you need is an electrical source, water, and a glass of wine!
The market is overflowing with produce... the fresh tomatoes, fingerling and heirloom eggplants, canary melons and cantaloupes are in abundance. Look for the first appearance of asian pears from Petals from the Past this week also. Taste test some samples, then take your favorites home.
Remember, all woody plants (trees, shrubs and vines) are 25% off through August. This includes chalbark maples, beech trees, evergreen oaks hydrangeas and more...
See you soon!
