March Gardening Events

An announcement from the Transplants Garden Club:

Nurseries Caroliniana is offering a seminar every Saturday starting in March.

Spring is right around the corner! 

At least we hope it is. This has certainly been a memorable winter. To kick off the spring gardening season, we will be having seminars every Saturday at 10:30AM here at the retail store. We have lots of ideas for seminar subjects, but we would also love to hear suggestions from you. The object of seminars is to help you, so we want to address topics that our customers feel are important. Bring a paper and pen when you come and bring your questions too. Here is the schedule for March.

March 6 - Pruning - knowing when or if to prune and proper pruning techniques and tools

March 13 - Weeds - Bring your weeds with you, and if you don't know what type of grass you have, bring a sample of that too. 

March 20 - Liming and Fertilizing - why and when to lime, how the right fertilizer can make your plants perform their best.

March 27 - Vegetable Gardening - Homegrown vegetables always taste the best. We will cover the basics of soil preparation, pest and disease control, and varieties that are good for our area. 

We look forward to seeing you. If you have questions, please call us at the number below.
