I am a member of the gardening club at a local nursery. The plants and
flowers are pricey, but there is always someone to answer a question and it has
a relaxing atmosphere. It is a beautiful place with every plant, flower, shrub
and tree in the right place. And did I mention that they play really good
classical music. There is a workshop every month with a break in October through
December. In January, I attended a Saturday workshop on pruning. I was not
particularly interested in pruning but it turned out to be informative. The
information I learned gave me the confidence to plant shrubbery (something my husband and I had talked about). The shrubs in the front of our house have been slowly dying. The extreme drought of 2011 and drought 2012 took its toll on all the greenery. I am just happy that we still have our three oak trees in the yard, because I have seen some trees just fall over and die because of the drought. I also learned the correct way to trim the scrubs in the backyard to promote growth underneath.

We chose three schrubs to plant.
The shrub bushes we chose from.
This is the brand of root stimulator purchased from a local nursery. We used the stimulator when planting all our shrubs, blooming vines and large flowers. It is mixed with water and poured around plant after it is placed into the ground.
Chloe loves mint.
Shrubry ready for transplant.
Because of the rocky soil, we used some bagged top soil when we transplanted the schrub.
Pretty and interesting flowers I saw at the nursery.
