Try New Things, in moderation:

* Trying new things is one of the fun things about gardening; however, it can be costly if trials are not calculated, and small in scale.
* If you find a plant that you like, but it isn’t zoned for our climate zone, try it in a protected spot, and be sure to get it planted well before chance of frost to ensure a strong root system before going dormant for the winter.
* If you see a variety that you like that requires “excellent drainage” try raising or berming an area to create this unique environment while adding some new interest to your landscape.
These five ideas will yield successful results when trying to establish your new plantings and as always we at Old Valley Nursery are here to help out in all of these and any other situations you encounter.
