OPENING FOR THE SPRING SEASON

We'll be opening for the Spring Season
this Thursday, March 31.

Green Thumbs greenhouse on Monday, March 28


Easy Wave Petunias
This Spring you'll find that we've grown a few new plants that we haven't grown in past years... such as some Easy Wave Petunias,








Better Boy Tomatoes
Sweet Banana Peppers
Better Boy Tomatoes & Sweet Banana Peppers that we usually buy ready-to-sell in later weeks. 

Salvia 'Fahrenheit Violet'



We're growing a different variety of perennial (it comes back every year in our area) Salvia called 'Fahrenheit Violet.'




Cuphea 'Vienco'


And we're excited about a different variety of Cuphea that we're growing for this Spring.  It's called 'Vienco', and it looks like it will be a real magnet for hummingbirds!



Giant Ducksfoot Coleus


Then we've got lots of our best-selling favorites that we've grown in the past... like the Giant Ducksfoot Coleus,



Strobilanthes (Persian Shield)




the colorful Persian Shield (Strobilanthes), 









Zonal Geranium 'Diabolo Red'



Our Zonal Geraniums, available in both the big 8-inch pots and the smaller 4 1/2-inch pots, 








And our famous 'Sun & Shade' Impatiens that grow well in either shade or sun - these are very difficult to find anywhere else in this area, and we've grown more this season than ever before... in a wider selection of colors.

Impatiens 'Sun N Shade'

And of course, there's our popular Wave Petunia Hanging Baskets.  This Spring, we've grown about four times as many as we grew last Spring... using all space available in both our Green Thumbs greenhouse location, and in our off-site Ridge Ripe greenhouse location.

Hanging Basket Shockwave Petunias, Denim Blue
Hanging Basket Shockwave Petunias 'Pink Vein'
Hanging Baskets Shockwave Petunias 'Purple'
Hanging Baskets Shockwave Petunias 'Rose'
To get a good look at many more of the plants we've grown for this Spring Season, click on the "Spring Plants" tab toward the top of this page - just below our banner picture of the hanging basket.

Something else new for us... beginning this Spring, we will accept Credit Cards and Debit Cards!

Our hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, and 9:00am to 12:00noon on Saturday.  We hope you'll come see us!
