Forsythia Peaking Out! Spring is getting Closer

Finally! I always think that one of the first true signs of Spring is the Robin's playing in the grass, and the forsythia blooming in the garden. The robins were out in full force yesterday, and I spied a bright yellow forsythia bloom.

Did you know you can bring some Spring inside by taking some cuttings of the forsythia and placing them in a vase of water. The flowers will open up within a few days inside. You can do this all winter long, but earlier in the winter, it takes more time to get them to open.

If you don't have forsythia to cut, we have some great plants that just arrived. Forsythia is one of the easiest shrubs to grow. Plant in a sunny location, and they're off and running.
