Cheers for the holidays!
2011 has been quite a year, with record heat, hurricanes, and premature snow storms, but now that we’ve survived all that we can celebrate the arrival of the holidays. Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the Holiday season and that means family traditions and good cheer. Let us all take this opportunity [...]
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 [...]

In addition to completing the cycle of nutrient flow that comes with composting fallen leaves, grass clippings and plant prunings, designed landscapes require supplemental sources of plant nutrients and soil amendments. I believe in using organics to build [...]
There’s an old joke that goes something like this: “If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?” The questioner waits for one of two likely answers. Most people answer “Pilgrims.” (Wait for it.) “No. June bugs!” (If they had said “June bugs” the jokester would have said “No. Pilgrims!”) Ok, ok. It’s [...]
February marks the beginning of our house plant sale. Indoor gardening is a great way to keep in touch with nature during these late winter days and with spring just around the corner–but not near enough–a nice new plant in a pot will turn those winter blues into lush and lively greens, reds, oranges [...]
This truly has been the winter of our discontent in New York and New England. Snowstorm after snowstorm, after ice storm, followed by another snowstorm, and then icy rain made January 2011 a perpetual snow day for the kids…and the adults. I tell folks this is just like every Midwestern winter where once the first [...]
