Dirt

Christmas Trees & Wreaths Are Here!

With a nice dusting of snow on the ground it feels even more like Christmas.  We will cut the bottom, trim the bottom branches and even deliver if you need.  Wreaths & Garland & Roping too.  Blue Berried Juniper Bundles, Boxwood Bundles, Incense Cedar, Port Orford Cedar, Red Twig Dogwood branches and more for decorating your window boxes, outdoor pots or your mantle.  No time to decorate?  Give us a ring and we’ll do it for you – big or small.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday and we thank you for a fabulous 2011 season.

Frost and snow have already shown their faces this fall season, but it’s not too late to plant trees and shrubs.  In fact fall is one of the best times to plant!  All trees at Beardsley Gardens are 50% off!  Selected shrubs are 50-75% off!  Need help planting?  Let us know and we can help with that too.

On another note, the holidays are coming up fast (as usual).  Pre order your holiday wreath and tree and save 10% – orders must be received by November 23rd.

Hope to see you soon.

The Moviehouse, Millerton, NY

Beardsley Gardens is proud to be a sponsor of the documentary John Muir In the New World showing at it’s east coast premiere on April 3rd at The Moviehouse in Millerton, NY at 11:00am.  The event is a benefit for THE ARTS FUND for Region One.

John Muir was a preservationist, naturalist, author, explorer, activist, scientist and farmer.  He is revered as the father of the environmental movement and the founder of the Sierra Club.  The documentary delves into Muir’s life and influences explaining through magnificent and stunning images his impact on our nation’s most important naturals assets in his time and in ours.

The producer, director and writer of the film, Catherine Tatge and her husband, executive producer, Dominque Lasseur will be at the screening for a pre show reception and a post film question and answer session.  They are both residents of our lovely Cornwall, CT.

Hope to see you there!

We are now the proud dealers of Mohican Wind Harps.  They are quite possibly the coolest thing we’ve seen in a long time.  It was quite windy today when they arrived so we immediately took them outside to try them out.  The sound was incredible – like a Celtic nymph singing to us – or at least that’s what we all agreed at the time.  I’ll post more later on these fabulous new finds – but in the mean time please come on by to check them out!

And thank goodness.  Something spring-like for me to think about after all this snow.  I do have to say that hearing the drip, drip, drip of the snow melting off the roof is having a heart-lifting effect on me.

Beardsley Gardens is proud to say that for the second year we are carrying Botanical Interest Seeds.  They are a family owned and operated company that pledges that no seeds are genetically modified and all seeds are untreated.  We also are carrying a mixture of traditional seeds and organic varieties.  Come on by and see us and our seeds….. we certainly could use the company!

Welcome to Beardsley Gardens!  I will try to be vigilant about updating the blog with all of our current news.

The news today??? Well, we’ve launched our website!  We’ve created a facebook page for those of you who would like to view our news that way and we’ve created this blog.  Oh and yes it’s VALENTINE’S DAY this week!!

Lori our florist has some fabulous flowers coming in this week just for Valentine’s Day along with some gorgeous orchid plants – pansy type orchids and others.  I’m the landscape girl so these plants are new to me and they are beautiful!  Take a look at the photos.  As soon as I know what else Lori has up her sleeve I’ll let you know.  I do know that we are having a snowday special this week of 10 stems of spray roses for $15.
