I
am proud to be able to say that Scenic Nursery has been named Modesto's
Favorite Nursery for the seventh straight year. It makes me proud of
all the hard work the Scenic staff does to make it happen. We are
continually looking for ways to make the shopping experience here more
fun and interesting for you.
Providing new and interesting plants is a large part of our goal. Our
recently remodeled and expanded bedding department always has a
selection of attractive, interesting and colorful perennials to add to
your garden. Even in the off season, April keeps a selection that you
will find interesting. In the store, Diana is always on the look out
for organic methods of pest control. We test many products, but keep in
stock only those things that actually work. We do try to provide
organic pest control products first. Ranging from Sluggo, the pet safe
snail control, to the new organic insect control, Spinosad, we are
continually looking for the safest gardening products that work.
This winter The Garden Crew has plans to install more display vignettes
to show what The Garden Crew can do and give you ideas for you to do.
In addition to periodic maintenance and refreshing old gardens, The
Garden Crew can do complete new garden installations.
In personal news, Donna and I are slowly making progress on our front
yard remodel. You can check out our progress at www.scenicnursery.com
under The Garden Crew section.
You can also see a picture of our twelve foot Puangyok Thai Pea
Eggplant! Yes, twelve feet tall! I would like to say that it gave a
crop in relation to it's size, but it set flowers late and the tiny
fruits are still not ripe (as of early November). I have never heard or
seen of an egg plant this size – how about you?
