Dear Friends,
You know the drill! It's September and it's time once again for the annual Sad Little Plant Sale where we rummage through the nursery finding all manner of plants that would like to find a new home. More details below.
It has been particularly hot this last part of the summer for us. Things have dried out considerably since the early part of the summer, but don't be lulled into thinking your plants have had plenty of hydration even with the latest downpours of 3 and 4 inches at a time. If you have planted any new plants, shrubs, or trees this year or last, be especially mindful of the amount of water they are getting as we go into the winter. More details in the section below on Notes for Fall.
Remember to check the front page of our website or our Facebook page for any last minute announcements. Right now we are still cautioning on shipping in the heat.
Come out to the nursery and load up on plants for your gardens. Our nursery hours for the fall are 9 AM to 4 PM every day except closed on Sundays. We look forward to seeing you here at OGS!
Cheers,
Al Pfeiffer, Owner

Yes, this is the one you have been waiting for all year. Not just a one-day wonder, but great deals throughout the week!
If you are not familiar with the SLPS, we search the nursery for all kinds of plants that need a loving home. Every day we will be pulling items from all over the nursery, both big and small, and pricing them to sell. You can get some great deals on plants that might need just a little loving care or are the last ones of that particular variety hanging out here at the nursery. We get to clear the mats before winter comes and you get to take home some wonderful plants to nurse back to their full glory.
We have lots of mighty awesome perennials too, just itching to spread their roots in your garden. We have so many that we have both a sun-loving perennial house and a shade-loving perennial house!
And if you buy 8 or more any combination of C1 size non-sale perennials, ferns, or grasses, you will receive a 10% discount off the regular price. Time to add that new bed! Help us make room for our fall crops by picking up some new treasures for your landscape!
Conifers? Yup, we have those too - lots of them!
And if you see something that really appeals to you, but isn't in the SLPS category, we've got a 10% off regular price coupon you can use below.
We still have a lot of plants around here that really want to be planted out, so we encourage you to come out and see what you can find for that empty spot (or spots) in your landscape!

Fall is a wonderful time of year, not only for us, but for the plants too. It is an ideal time to be installing all kinds of plants particularly perennials, and deciduous and evergreen shrubs and trees. Why? The soil is still warm which encourages good root growth and the roots will continue to grow until the ground freezes. These new roots will get the plant off to a quick start in the spring, faster than plants planted in the cool spring soils.
A warning for those who want to move some trees and shrubs around their yard: there are some that do not transplant (or dig) well in the fall, although they do fine if transplanted from containers such as we have at the nursery. Also, the later in the season that perennials are divided and moved, the less time they will have to put down roots, and frost upheaval can be severe and damaging. Keep this in mind and be sure to mulch these new transplants well.
Be sure to keep watering all plantings (in particular, those planted this year) until the ground freezes, or assure that your plants are getting enough moisture to survive the drying winter winds. Fall drought, even after the leaves have dropped, can damage a plant, even well-established plantings. Needled evergreens and broadleaf types like rhododendron are particularly vulnerable to desiccation and winterburn. If you have any questions, be sure to ask us!
