It rained yesterday, Praise Be!

August is a great time for musing, planning, and preparing for all of the landscaping opportunities that autumn offers.

Did you know that autumn is THE BEST time to plant?! With above ground growth halted, plants can focus on establishing roots underground, and are better positioned to thrive the following year. One of the best parts of this is LESS WATERING!

Garden Understories can help you create a landscape that:

-is fire smart

-delights you

-is low maintenance

-provides critical support for local pollinators

We are now accepting landscaping projects for this autumn, and as a special bonus, any Spring 2026 native plants used in these projects will be sold at HALF OFF! 

Also, please stay tuned for our Fall Plant Sales coming up in October. (To reiterate, preparing your site in summer, then planting in fall, is THE MOST resilient, low maintenance way to plant!)

 

 

 Lovely to again be part of the Salmo and District Hospice Society's annual garden tour fundraiser this past July. Got to share the Garden Understories Native Plant Nursery (adorned by the Salmo Quilter's Guild) with fellow plant lovers, and raise funds for a worthy cause.
