Fall has officially arrived—isn’t it beautiful? Here at Royal City Nursery, we’re beyond excited for this special season. We have fall decor coming out of our ears, from pumpkins and ornamental corn to straw bales and scarecrows. I think you’d agree that there’s so much to love about fall—cooler weather, warmer beverages, and the return […]
It’s chrysanthemum season at last! Of all the fall symbols, mums might just be my favourite. They’re the perfect flower for ringing in the new season, even when it’s a little early for pumpkins, and they’re so versatile for decorating the home and landscape. However, if working from home and the back-to-school insanity has tapped […]
It’s hydrangea season again! Are you loving it as much as I am? It seems like everyone in the world is in love with these fabulous shrubs, and for good reason—there’s no substitute for their incredible flower heads. However, like all plants worth growing, hydrangeas come with their fair share of challenges. Depending on how […]
Now that we’re seeing more and more days of T-shirt weather, lots of us are starting to get the “gardening itch”—we’re ready to begin planting, ASAP! While it’s a little on the early side for some of our more tender plants, the cooler days of spring are great opportunities for planting fruit trees. With another […]
There’s a lot of truth to the old adage that “fresh air is good for the soul,” and there’s no better way to get your fresh air fix than by tending plants. Gardens are a place of sanctuary, where you can say goodbye to stress and replace it with a sense of peace and calm. […]
Now, more than ever, we need to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally. The silver lining of our situation today is that we now have lots of time at home, and there’s no better way to use than to start or tend to your garden. The benefits of gardening are precisely the kinds […]
During dark times, I always try to look for the light. I’ve said it before; I’m here, and you’re here, and that’s something to be grateful for. In fact, it seems like there’s more to be appreciated now than ever—like our health, our families, and our personal space. Many, if not all of us, are […]
If you’ve ever visited Southern Italy, you might have fond memories of the coastal cliffs adorned with robust lemon trees. Citrus fruits, as fruits go, are some of the most refined—from the twist of orange rind in an Old Fashioned to the fancy-lady mainstay of hot water with a slice of lemon. As fancy and […]
Here’s my controversial opinion: fall lawn care is fun. I can practically feel the eye rolls I’ll get for that, but I stand by my opinion. Consider this: you get to enjoy the outdoors, the weather is the right temperature to keep you cool as you work, and everything you do makes a visible (and […]
When I think “fall”, I can’t help but imagine chrysanthemums and ornamental grasses. In my opinion, fall is all about rich colours and comforting textures, and chrysanthemums (or, as they’re better known, “mums”) have both in spades. They also look phenomenal in container arrangements with my beloved ornamental grasses, but I digress. Mums may be […]
