Wedel's News

If you are interested in or considering using the natural and organic method of developing a lush, healthy, "eco-friendly, dark green lawn that has an invisible waxy coating, as you'd find in an apple, that wards off disease and reserves plant moisture" stop by and talk with us at Wedel's. We are proud to offer a number of products developed by the Jonathan Green Company which boasts "five generations of naturally beautiful lawns and gardens."

This is the Jonathan Green approach, in their own words: "The nutritional needs of grass plants are complex. The organic system of lawn fertility, based on the use of natural organic materials as the source of all fertility has merit. This is not a new approach to the subject of lawn care and soil management; it is the oldest method of making the soil more fruitful. It is a method whereby nature's own laws of maintaining fertility are applied.

Healthy soil is a living breathing system. It contains essential minerals, air, water, and a wide variety of living organisms and the decaying remains of dead ones. The ultimate goal of my Organic Lawn Care Programs is to improve the soil, making it more hospitable for lawn grass plants. My Jonathan Green Organic Lawn Care fertilizers, weed control and soluble calcium soil conditioner are designed to provide your lawn with excellent turf nutrition in a slow long lasting fundamentally balanced formulation."

Natural lawn care makes sense and Wedel's stocks the best products for all of your lawn care projects. Come by and see all of the Jonathan Green products, get your questions answered and be assured our success is defined by your success, naturally.

Are you wondering if it is really possible? Is spring really here? No one can question your skepticism considering the cold and snowy winter we experienced this year. It really wasn't that long ago that we still had 1' and 2' snow drifts along our streets and driveways but even the cold nights that are in the forecast don't change the fact that yes, spring is finally here. And you know what that means! If you're ready, we're ready, at Wedel's.

Redbud

Take a look at this week's Wedel's ad and you'll know for sure, it's time to get busy adding beauty to our landscapes and delicious fruits and vegetables to our gardens. Forsythia, magnolia, quince, bleeding heart, creeping phlox, azalea shrubs, redbud, dogwood, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, onions, pond supplies and landscape stone are only some of the items at the garden center right now.

Blueberries

We've waited, planned and waited some more and now the wait is over. It's time to get outdoors and into that fresh spring air. You don't need to get everything done at once but with many of these items on sale, there's no time like the present to get started. Mother's Day is coming up too. Wouldn't it be nice to put something lasting and beautiful in Mom's landscape this year? The nursery is filling up quickly with beautiful plants waiting for their permanent homes. Where better to grow up than at Mom's house?

Petunias

You HAVE to take a walk through the Annuals and Perennials green house while you're here. It might be cold, rainy and maybe even frosty outside but it is a beautiful spring day, every day, in the greenhouse. Walk down the aisles, stop, close your eyes and enjoy the wonderful scents. Go ahead. No one will think you're crazy; we've all done it here over the past few days. Walk down one of the aisles and you'll see lenten rose, petunias, blueberries, hibiscus, sweet potato vine, salvia, dahlia, rosemary, sage, parsley, thyme, caladium, red chili peppers, California Wonder green peppers and you'll still have more aisles to go.
