What’s in Bloom at the Nursery? Mid- to late summer can be a questionable time in the garden, depending on how you’ve planted! There’s a tendency to avoid planting in the summer, thinking that plants won’t tolerate the heat. However, this can lead to a lull in color at this time of year – especially if one only buys plants that are blooming! Even we’ve got a bit of that going on right now!

Groton, Leominster, and Lunenburg Markets this weekend! It’s gonna be a busy weekend for us, with three markets! That means three opportunities to bring native plants into your garden!

This takes place at the Williams Barn property at 160 Chicopee Row, Groton, MA.

We’ll be at the Leominster MA Farmers’ Market this Saturday, July 5th, 2025, from 11am to 2pm, in Monument Square, Leominster, MA. We’ll have several lovely annuals and biennials in bloom – all of which are new-this-year species for us! This includes: Pale corydalis (Corydalis sempervirens; biennial 1st year). This biennial offers delicate pale green foliage and small colorful pink and yellow flowers. Redwhisker Clammyweed (Polanisia dodecandra; annual). A great name for an interesting plant!
