Welcome

SATURDAY MAY 5 IS MAINE GREENHOUSE & NURSERY DAY! 'Come join the fun and help us celebrate the opening of gardening season in Maine. We'll have popcorn and refreshments all day, a "build-your-own planter table to get your hands dirty, pinwheels for the kids and a special sale on pansies (our personal favorite spring flower!) Read more about this state-wide event here.

 5/1/2012 Gardeners start your engines! Spring has finally arrived in ernest (we hope) and planting can begin. Start with pansies, peas, lettuce and perennials. Proceed causiously to beets, cole crops and hanging baskets. Two weeks 'till Mother's Day!  We are still planting seedlings like fiends to make sure you have all you need to fill your veggie gardens and create your own little bit of paradise. Check in on the Greenhouse and Nursery pages to see what's new

There are a few seeds you can plant now if your ground is ready - peas, radishes, spinach, kale and lettuce are the ones that come to mind. We offer all kinds of garden seeds both conventional (Hart's) and organic (High Mowing from Vermont) and unusual (Renee's Garden). Get 'em now before your favorite varieties are sold out.

We've stocked the shelves with garden supplies, tools and organic problem solvers so you can get the job done and be ready for any eventuallity. We recommend Atlas Nitrile gloves as a "must have" before you pull that first weed.

See the "Shop" page to view some new friends for your garden.

Check the Greenhouse page for more photos of all the colorful growing things. Come on in to get a little dose of Spring!

 Fresh eggs are available intermitently right now - the girls are molting and slowing down from their Summer production schedule. We will have eggs as often as they lay for us so give us a call to see if they are available. Once you've had home grown you'll never want store-bought again. (They are free thinking chickens because they have their own ideas about where to lay their eggs - not always in the nest box!)

This is where the "Find us on Facebook" button would go if I knew how to put it here! Try www.facebook.com/greencareplantscapes if you're into the facebook thing. That page gets updated a little more often than the webpage does. Thanks for spreading the word!

You will notice at the top of this page we are trying to entice you on to our email newsletter list. With the cost of conventional mail going up all the time we are trying to do as much as we can electronically. We will maintain our snail-mail list for those of you who prefer not to get your mail on line. We are just trying to save $$ wherever we can to keep costs and prices reasonable.

The "Greenhouse and Shop" pages will give you a general idea of the plants and products we have in stock and what's looking particularly nice right now.

So, look around, make yourself at home, then come and visit us at the shop. After all, it's hard to smell the flowers through the computer screen!
