Don't you love the feel of fresh, rich soil on your hands? It is amazing what a little bit of soil holds in it. The water and minerals that a plant needs to grow all come from the soil. Good soil allows plants to thrive; poor soil means less blooms, less growth and a less beautiful garden. Soil is important. So this season, we've enhanced our Kerby's Planting Soil mix. Man does it feel nice when you dig in and grab a handful. It even smells rich. Click here for the "dirt" on our new soil mix and here for how to plant with it. Garden success starts with good soil, and we are excited to see how much better our gardens grow this year.

Nothing adds shade, color and style to a landscape like a flowering tree.
Many different varieties of flowering trees grow well in our area, and some
of our favorites are listed below. During the winter, most of these trees
are dormant, making the winter and spring the ideal time for planting. See
Kerby's
planting instructions for information on planting trees correctly.
Redbud - Brilliant
pink blooms cover this medium
sized tree in spring time, signaling the end of winter. The heart-shaped
leaves emerge after the spectacular flower show is over, providing soft
shade. For even more color, try the Forest Pansy variety which has deep burgundy
leaves.
White
Flowering Dogwood - No noisy barking, no biting the
postman, just beautiful white flowers
in springtime. It will need food and water though!
The dogwood is a classic spring flowering tree that is native to Florida.
