Gardening Guidance

Every gardener needs a little help sometimes.  Here are some reasources that are essential to lending a hand in making you the great gardener that you are.

Beautiful Bella Anna Hydrangea

PLANT RESOURCES.  Our plant selection varies throughout the season, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find out information on a plant you purchased from Cobblestone Gardens & Market.  These resouces can also give you information on plants for wet sites, deer resistant plants, how to make a zen garden, and so much more.  Many of these resources are our plant vendors, some are just great gardening resources.

BAILEY NURSERIES.  Bailey’s is a local supplier of annuals, veggies, perennials, shrubs, trees, tropicals and vines.  Their website has a great plant libary with awesome photos, detailed plant information and tips for what plants grow best where.  http://www.baileynurseries.com/ 

GREENLEAF NURSERY.  Greenleaf is another supplier of plant material.  They furnish Cobblestone with a variety of plants including the NEW and EXCITING  Bloomerang lilac and Pink Lemonade Blueberry. http://www.greenleafnursery.com/

Easy Care Sun Hanging Basket

MONROVIA.  Monrovia is a household name thanks to several shows on HGTV.  Their website has awesome plant information but it also gives gardeners great ideas on creating gardens that fit your personality.  http://www.monrovia.com/

PROVEN WINNERS.  So you know what colors your like, but you aren’t sure what annuals work well for shade, or sun.  Proven winners gives you a ton of information on annuals and even how to put together a great combination for a hanging basket, urn, or annual bed.  http://www.provenwinners.com/

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY PLANT?  Sometimes something infests our garden or plants.  If you aren’t sure where to turn (besides Cobblestone Gardens & Market of course) there are a few great places that can help you answer your burning questions. http://www.gardenminnesota.com/ and http://www.extension.umn.edu/ are two of my favorites for digging deeper into questions like, when should I plant potatoes, or how bad is emerald ash borer?     Another great website is the Northern Gardener website which is published by the Minnesota State Horticultural Society.  Check it out http://www.northerngardener.org/
