Holiday Markets coming soon!

Join Brent and me at the holiday markets now offered in the area. It's you last chance to get gifts, holiday decorations, and fresh locally grown food so stock up for the winter months to come.

Markets:
Watauga Count Farmers Market Saturday November 21 from 10-2PM at our usual Horn in the West Park.

Blowing Rock Holiday Farm Market - Tuesday November 24th and Thursday December 17th, both of these will be indoors ( a very good idea) in the American Legion Building behind the Blowing Rock Park.

Peony Planting

This week we're planting more Peonies for spring blooms. In the coming years we should have quite a nice stand of red, white, and soft pink peonies. Until recently we were only growing whites and pinks.

If you are planting your own peonies remember to always improve the soil with compost. Peonies need well drained rich healthy soil. Always plant the buds just 2' below the final soil line in full sun. Mulch encourages voles and rot.

Last Flowers of the Summer

We are finishing up our wedding season with one more to go. Here's a few more photo's from this year. Look for us at the local holiday farmers Markets for beautiful red winterberry holly for your indoor and outdoor decorations. This is the real stuff not faux.

Keep Shady Grove in mind for Christmas gift certificates and next years CSA for weekly flowers or our winter vegetable CSA.

Hydrangeas and Hollies

It's Hydrangea and Winterberry Holly season here at Shady Grove. Order you seasonal centerpieces now.

We are now offering preserved Hydrangeas as well as fresh and dried of several sizes and shapes.

Orange Gold Winterberry Holly is reasy for the early Holidays and Red Winterberry will be available through Christmas. This is the real stuff not the faux they put in most wreaths and arrangements.

All the above items are available for shipment.

Christmas Gifts: we already taking orders for next years CSA (subscription membership) or give a gift certificate for locally grown flowers.
