 Plant
Now for Healthy Plants Next Summer
Autumn
is one of the best times to plant trees, shrubs and perennials.
Cooler air and warm soil help plants develop strong roots
ahead of our dry summers. Healthy roots make for more drought-tolerant,
disease-resistant plants. Plus, when the rains return, you
can take advantage of “ free ” water instead
of using your hose.
Use
the “ Right Plant ” for the “ Right
Place. ”
Swansons Nursery is partnering with the Saving
Water Partnership to give you ideas for fall planting.

harvested during the fall and winter, as well as what can be
overwintered for harvested in early spring. She will also talk
