Our floral shop is looking alot like Christmas and we invite you to stop in and talk to our florists. Make it a classic holiday celebration with our arrangements of roses, carnations, lilies, and more, accented with traditional Christmas trimmings. We also carry a large selection of poinsettias which are decorated in every color and design combination. Poinsettias will be available the week following the Thanksgiving holiday.

As part of our cemetery urn service we offer Christmas arrangements delivered to your cemetery plot. Christmas wreaths or swags are also available. Please call for more details.

DeWayne's Tips of the Month

• There are tasks that can be harmful if done to early. Mulching tender perennials, roses, and strawberries, for example should be left until the ground is frozen at least an inch deep.
• Lawns that are left to tall over the winter encourage problems like snow mold and tunneling of mice. Mow your yard one last time.
• Water all trees, shrubs and perennials one last time including all evergreens. The sun and wind will take water from these plants all winter. Excess water loss cause winter burn or death of the plant.
• All young trees even up to 6-7 years old should be wrapped to prevent sunscald and animal damage.
• Clean up asparagus beds after the stems and leaves have turned yellow. Removing the dead matter reduces disease, rodent and insect damage next year.
• Wait until late winter or early spring before pruning most trees and shrubs. Wounds will heal faster when the plant starts actively growing in the spring.
• This is a good time to pick up any tools in your garden and do any maintenance or repairs on them.
• Now is the time to find and destroy gypsy moth eggs. Since 1980, the gypsy moth has defoliated over 1 million acres of forest each year. People should look for teardrop shaped egg masses that are about the size of a nickel to quarter. They are tan colored and covered with thousands of tiny fuzzy hairs and are firm to the touch. Scrape the egg masses off and into a bucket of soapy water and let them soak several days and then dispose of them in the trash.
