SEPTEMBER ACTIVITIES

Soon it will be autumn when you can enjoy warm days and cool evenings. Fall is the prime planting time beginning in mid-September and lasting through November. Now is the time to plant winter vegetables, bulbs, perennials, trees, shrubs and annuals. Don’t forget the sun screen, hat, and bottled water!

While visiting the Chelsea Flower Show in London a few years back, I came across one beautiful allium after another throughout the show. When I finally started asking about the unusual blooms, the Brits proudly reported that they were alliums  "from California." What a surprise it was to see more California flowers blooming across the ocean rather than in our own backyards. 

By special arrangement with CGCI, you can order bulbs at a 40% discount from Sunshine Premium Flower  Bulbs. But that's not all! The generous folks at Sunshine will donate 15% of our orders to benefit Kids Growing Strong, our youth project!
