Six-month old Tofu asked her hoomans nicely to bring her in to visit with us today. This gorgeous husky was eager to show us that she's learned to sit and shake on command, and LOVES freeze dried treats. Great seeing you guys!

Someone left/lost a knitted or crocheted blanket in our parking lot this morning. We have it at the register.

Ruby Spice Summersweet is in full bloom! This shrub is so versatile- full sun to part shade, sandy or clay soil, can handle drought or be planted in a damp area, reduces erosion, is low maintenance, has an incredible aroma, and attracts every pollinator in the neighborhood. Stop by and see what's so amazing about it, but all you'll have to do is smell a flower and you'll be hooked!

Autumn Sun Cut-leaf Coneflower towers over the rest. It makes a statement in the garden, reaching heights of up to 7' tall and 4' or more wide.

Plant for privacy, for pollinators, as a specimen, in a wild or natural area, and watch this beauty bloom for up to two months in late summer. Bees and butterflies swarm to it. And it's 25% off!

Garden Team Member Anna located 4 (yep, you read that right, FOUR!!), tiny Monarch cats this morning on milkw**d we have for sale. This is getting to be a problem, y'all! Our enclosure is filling up and we've got fewer milkw**d to sell. These are on Swamp, Butterfly W**d, Showy, and Sullivant's.

Seriously though, if anyone would like to purchase one of the plants with a caterpillar on it, they are available.

We had a very special release today- our first ever Monarch butterfly! Garden Team Member Reagan spotted a Monarch cat on one of the Swamp Milkw**d we had for sale, so we placed it in the enclosure and watched it grow. Today he eclosed from the chrysalis and was released in the early afternoon.

Shortly prior to his release, a tiny Monarch cat was found on the Sullivant's milkw**d we have for sale. So the cycle continues!

If you want to entice Monarchs into your garden and help support these amazing insects whose numbers are dwindling, we still have plenty of milkw**d: whorled, poke, swamp, Sullivant's, butterfly w**d, and showy. Poke milkw**d can even handle some shade!

The Fowlerville Family Fair / Fowlerville Agricultural Society is officially open!! Enjoy a day or two at the fair, ride the rides, eat the yummy food, see the livestock, go to a real Demolition Derby, watch the rodeo and tractor pull, check out the Spelling Bee, but don't forget to swing by the Home Arts Building to see our Garden Center Manager's summer patio pots that are on loan for the week.

Be sure to stop in the Home Arts Building to say hello to the Master Gardeners and visit their Smart Gardening booth. They'll have hand outs with valuable gardening information on relatable topics for gardeners of all levels.

Released the last of our Eastern Black Swallowtails today! This year we had 3 males and 3 females. May the wind favor all of you!

Interesting fact: Only Michigan and Iowa do not have state insects. House Bill 5642 was introduced in 2021 to designate the Black Swallowtail the official butterfly of Michigan, but it did not make it out of committee.

Rose Campion (Silene coronaria) is a drought tolerant pernnial that pefers dry, rocky, sandy soil in Full Sun. It's also deer resistant, can naturalize, and blooms May into July. We have a handful of gallon pots available for $10. It thrives in our Drought & Salt Tolerant Garden.
