Put The Right Plant... In The Right Place

Do you have plants that dwindle in the shade?
Are your plants burnt in the sun?

Through the end of May, Sky Nursery is teaming up with the Saving Water Partnership to help you select the right plants that will thrive naturally in dry sun or dry shade (right place). Look for our signs, plant displays and factsheets. By making the right choices, your plants will flourish without excessive watering, pesticides and fertilizers. Ask our staff for plant ideas if you have other types of sun, shade and soil conditions.

Do you know what you have? Dry shade? Dry sun? Learn how to assess your garden.
