It is relaxing to commune with nature and rewarding to watch the result of our efforts as geranium and lantana burst into vibrant bloom. The fresh air is invigorating and while we breathe in the sweet smells of alyssum and honeysuckle it’s hardly noticeable that gardening is a form of exercise.
Though some people seemingly have a knack for growing beautiful lawns and plants (the proverbial green thumb) most homes you see that boast impressive landscapes and prolific foliage are the result of at least some consultation with a professional. Whether you are starting out with a yard requiring a lot of planning or someone who just needs the right furniture or accessory to complete the outdoor living space you desire, Nash Gardens is an excellent place to seek help with virtually any outdoor project. A full service garden center, they offer a wide selection of upscale furniture and accessories. They also specialize in providing large shade trees, hard to find shrubs and more varieties of plant material than you can shake a stick at.
While it is easy to conjure up images of rectangular glass tables with giant umbrellas sticking out of the middle of them when thinking of patio furniture or white, plastic, stackable chairs, the truth is patio furniture has evolved drastically over recent years. Picture instead chaise lounges, loveseats and ottomans with colorful, overstuffed cushions and pillows. Sound cozy? Well, if you are going to be spending a lot of time out there, shouldn’t it be comfortable and accommodating? After all, we are talking about an area that is truly an extension of your home and a fun place to host all sorts of summer festivities.
To add those personal touches that bring a smile to your face each time you see them, try placing stepping-stones to create a pathway through a section of your garden. Nash Gardens has a collection of cast stone ornamentations ranging from animals, wall plaques and shells to planters, statuary, birdbaths and more. The fact is, if you can imagine it, Nash Gardens can likely supply it.
If you are looking for that “special something” to add to your yard this season, why not consider a water feature? It just so happens Nash Gardens is also a complete pond and aquatic center. They can help you with everything from the design and installation of ponds and waterfalls to filters, lights, plants and even koi to go in your new pond. And nothing melts away the daily stresses like the gentle sound of running water and the beauty of koi as they glide amongst delicate water lilies and lotus plants.
Just remember, though our warm season is long, it is generally a good idea to get plants in the ground and somewhat acclimated before the hottest part of the summer is at hand. So, roll up your sleeves, slather on some sunscreen and head out to Nash Gardens for all you’ve thought of, as well as to find new ideas and tips. Oh yes, and you can forget about that missing glove…if you do find it, it will likely be this fall, so pick up a new pair while you’re there!
