We are up to our ears in seminars at Wells Brothers! Join us for our  Earth-Kind Seminar this weekend and learn how to create a low water landscape. Our Kid's Organic Gardening Seminar is always a hit as is our Poultry Seminar. All events are free but, space is limited (especially for the kids show) so sign up on-line, call or come by to get you name on the list. The weather is warm and it's time to turn your attention outside. It is the ideal time to prune roses and other woody perennials. Your first application of lawn fertilizer can be applied now. Need a custom fertilizer? Watch for our new Fertilizer Bar coming in March. Our Garden Tonic makes its return later this month.
Keep an eye on our calendar and check Facebook often. We will keep you updated with new store arrivals and other goings on.
