pring is the time to get gardens off to a good start. Whether you seek a restful seating area attracting butterflies to your patio or a new vegetable garden, Ward’s Nursery has the tools, veggie starts, herbs, flowers, seeds, fruiting trees or shrubs, pest solutions, and garden advice that will help everyone get growing.
We’re Open. Here to Help You Get Growing-Use Our Curbside Pickup or Delivery.
Quick tips: 1) Clear your growing area, including old raised beds or containers, of all weeds or unwanted plant material. 2) Install your plants with a solid understanding of how large they will get. Space them accordingly. 3) Water well and then lay mulch around plantings to keep in moisture and reduce weeds. Consult Ward’s staff for specifics. In these stressful days, we encourage customers to use our curbside pickup and delivery options to maintain their social distance. The Ward’s Nursery website outlines how our “personal shopping” curbside pickup or delivery works. Visit www.wardsnursery.com/curbside-pickup-or-delivery. As of this writing, Ward’s Nursery staff is continually taking steps to sanitize all common surfaces and have instituted a no-touch checkout. Social distancing has become standard practice throughout Ward’s property and we monitor that no more than 20 customers are on our sales campus at one time. We are all in this together.

Likewise, when it comes to indoor projects like a live edge slab table, unique touches on a custom piece of furniture, a wood cutting board, or a brand new hardwood floor, Ghent Wood Products is always there to help aid their customers with their wood and stone choices. And don’t forget, for all of our green-thumbed friends, they’ve got plenty of mulch for those flower beds and boxes that you build. It’s time for us to get outside and enjoy nature at its finest.
