Fall Planting -

Fall in Minnesota- got to love it– the kids are off to school, the cool breeze coming from our many lakes washes away the summertime blues and our green city becomes alive with color as the leaves begin to turn. It’s a perfect time to enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee outside, enjoy the cool weather and … Garden!

Did you know that fall is also the perfect time to plant all shrubs trees and perennials? While the air may be cooling down, the soil temperature is warmer in fall than it is in spring – creating the perfect environment for fast, strong root growth. The shorter days and colder nights reduce the severity of transplant shock, and since many insects are going dormant for the season the risk of insect attack and disease are significantly reduced. Serious gardeners also enjoy fall plantings because any gardening done in fall reduces the multitude of springtime chores – fill those blank spots now with shrubs, trees or perennials and sit back and watch your garden grow anew in spring. In addition, Sunnyside is offering a deal for all those interested in fall gardening – from now until the end of the year all of our perennials, shrubs and evergreens will be progressing from 20% to 30% to 40% off.
