The wonder of container gardens

Accent your home with the splendor of flowers in a personalized container garden created by our resident Horticulturist and Master Gardener, Amy Elizabeth Uva. Amy’s expertise begins with selecting the perfect pot or group of pots to complement their surroundings. Perhaps you have a family treasure that can be repurposed as a planter, or prefer one of the new pots made of lightweight materials that have the look of real stone. Each container will be filled with organic soil and plants selected from Gilbertie’s Garden Center that are chosen specifically to create your perfect container. You may wish to use two or three colors to create a stunning, sophisticated look or since it is not permanent, experiment with bright colors and combinations for a bolder display. The possibilities are truly endless, and can be updated with the changing seasons. Container gardens also offer the benefit of fewer disease and pest problems, and can be easily fertilized and maintained for inviting beauty throughout the seasons.

The versatility of mulch

Once our spring clean-up has prepared your property to welcome the new season, it’s time for a fresh and revitalizing layer of our all-natural mulch for that finishing touch to your well-groomed and healthy landscape. Not only does mulch add to the aesthetic appeal of your property, it provides many benefits to the plants it surrounds. Our professionals will ensure it is properly installed to the right depth for optimum water retention, weed suppression, and root temperature control, with the correct placement around the base of bushes, shrubs, and tree trunks.
