It’s time to ring out the old and bring in the new. All of us at Poundridge Nurseries would like to wish you, our loyal customers, a happy and healthy 2012. We will be here for you like always, except this year you will notice that we are closing up shop for a few weeks [...]
It’s that time of year and once again our Fall Sale is here! This is an exciting season for the landscape designers at Poundridge Nurseries because now that we are offering 40% off on all plants and garden accessories our jobs just got a lot easier! 40% off means that for the same project budget [...]
We all had a good scare as the high winds and heavy rains of Hurricane Irene bore down upon us, but ultimately the landscapes of Westchester and Fairfield counties fared pretty well through the storm. As the clean up progresses those who have cared for their trees properly over the years will find that their [...]
Summer is here and while plans for fun and sun may dominate our thoughts there is plenty that can be planted and planned for the garden too! Many more weeks are left in our growing season and that means there is more than enough time for new trees, shrubs, perennials, even vegetables and annuals to [...]

I tell folks this is just like every Midwestern winter where once the first [...]
It’s getting colder outside as November approaches and while there are only a few weeks left to plant trees, shrubs, or perennials, there’s still plenty of time to plant flowering bulbs such as daffodils, tulips, crocus, and lilies. I plant bulbs until the ground freezes. In fact, it’s better to wait until temperatures hold steadily [...]
While summer is fine for vacationing on the shore it is often a very tough time in the garden, and we had a tough time of it this year with over 30 days of temperatures above 90 degrees combined with what seemed like days on end without rain. A lot of plants, some of them [...]
One thing I see less and less in gardens these days are gardeners that mix annual plants with perennials and shrubs. I’m not sure why, but it seems to be that fewer and fewer gardeners take the time to design border combinations using all kinds of herbaceous materials: annuals, perennials, and tender perennials like dahlias.
