Perfectly pleasing pansies are back in our fall market! These easy-to-grow beauties are known to bring a smile or two because few can resist their darling 'faces'.
Good gardeners know that pansies can be 'bedded out' now for long-term enjoyment. Translation: plant cold-tolerant pansies now for 3 seasons of enjoyment - this fall, winter and spring 2015!
Pansies require little care, so they're ideal candidates for beds, borders, window boxes and planters. During the fall, water and deadhead spent blooms as needed. Generally, little care is needed during the winter other than watering during periods of winter thaws. If Mother Nature is kind and provides us with a warm winter, pansies will continue to bloom. If severe winter weather is predicted, cover with cut branches of evergreens to protect them. Come spring, your pansies will be blooming once again.

This child-friendly play area is open every day - 9am to 6pm. |

Fall is a perfect time to put your landscape dreams in motion. With the professional help of our landscape design/build firm, you can realize the full potential of your property this fall. Ireland Gannon Associates, Martin Viette's sister company, has a well-respected team of landscape designers, construction experts, and horticulturists to provide you with solutions that will be affordable, enjoyable, and aesthetically-pleasing for years to come.
Why tackle landscape projects now? Fall is the ideal time to renovate existing landscapes - beds and borders, driveway and entrance plantings. And if existing plant material needs to be moved to make way for a new planting, Long Island's extended fall weather is ideal for transplanting. Construction of patios, pools and decks need to be planned and some projects may require permits that can be time consuming to obtain. Ireland-Gannon's professional team understands this and will help you with the paperwork and details. The biggest benefit to tackling landscape projects now: when the job is finished this fall, you'll enjoy a beautiful landscape when spring arrives.
Ireland Gannon's office is located at Martin Viette Nurseries, Route 25A, East Norwich (516) 922-4800. Or, we invite you to visit us on the web: www.irelandgannon.com
