Fall is a special season here in the Pacific Northwest. Changing leaves, cool, crisp air and soon, the return of regular rains–all of these are signs that autumn has arrived. For gardeners, fall is an especially fun time–fresh, new flowers fill the tables at the garden center, cooler weather reduces the stress on plants…and sales have begun on shrubs, trees and perennials!

At Vander Giessen Nursery, we’re kicking off fall with a sale on nearly all of our shrubs, trees, and perennials–and we have a beautiful selection available for you to choose from this year. From a wide variety of evergreen and deciduous shrubs to unique Japanese maples and the rich fall colors of blueberries and burning bush, we’re ready to help you make your garden beautiful.

Autumn is truly the best time of year to plant in the yard–with cooler weather and regular rain, transplant stress is reduced, and with soils still warm from summer’s heat, your plants will quickly take root and get established before winter. Come browse the nursery to see what you can plant this fall and save–our sale runs through Saturday, October 12.

Give your plants a great start

Whatever you’re planting this fall, give it a great start by using a plant starter at the time of planting. Unlike other fertilizers, starter fertilizers like Espoma Bio-Tone Starter or Bonide Root & Grow are specially-formulated to encourage rapid root development and help your plants get established quickly, rather than forcing extra growth above ground.

When you’re shopping at the nursery this fall, be sure to pick up a bag of Bio-Tone or bottle of Root & Grow and ensure your new plants get the best start to growing in their new home!
