Dear Gardening Friends,   First and foremost, Happy Mother’s Day!!   We hope all of you lovely Mother-Gardeners have a great day, with hearts content and hands in the soil!!

May Open House!! Our May Open House will be held here at the home Nursery on  Wednesday, May 6th  from 10am until 5pm 914 S. Cloverdale Ave. Los Angeles, 90036   Sale on Soil!!   It’s not an overall Sale…however, we will be giving 20% off the fabulous Black Gold Waterhold Potting Soil - 1.5 cubic foot bags of Certified Organic goodness!!    Sale runs through May 10th Last month’s Open House was a rousing success and a really fun day.  We hope to see even more of you here next week!!!  We have tons of gorgeous organic inventory! Street parking is available.   Please bring your friends, your Mom, but not your pets!  Thanks!! At Long Last….Fuyus!!!   We’re thrilled to announce that after a wait of nearly 2 years, we will finally have 5-gallon Fuyu Persimmon Trees for sale!! They will be here in time for the Open House!   Big Berry “Top 5”!!     We currently have the “Top 5” Berries in stock!   This rarely happens, but we have Blueberries, Boysenberries, Blackberries, Raspberries and our latest round of 900 Sequoia Strawberries ready to go!        Alex made a “Blueberry Run” a week ago, so we currently have lots of gorgeous Mistys and Sharpblues that are loaded with fruit!!     The other day, Alex caught Charlie scouting the ripest ones!!     CLICK HERE FOR CHARLIE'S VIDEO! New Batch of Heirloom Tomatoes!!   Our next 600 Organic Heirloom Tomatoes are ready and waiting!     See them all here                The Spring/Summer season is a long one… We’re still getting our 40 EarthBoxes and 27 Smart Pots fully transitioned (although 7 of them are full of Strawberries, which last years!).  And there’s lots of time for “succession planting”.   In the spirit of the " Mother of all Creation"...  we'd like to ask you to join us in making a donation, of whatever you can afford, to Doctors Without Boarders,  for their critical work in Nepal.  We will have a Donation Box here at the Open House and can then mail everything in together.  Click to read more about their vital efforts! That’s it for now...   Many thanks, and as always, Happy Harvests!! Jo Anne, Alex, Lalo, Jake & Charlie
