I received an email from Buchanan’s they want you to know:
All is well — even without power!

We’ll be happy to help you rebuild
your garden, order large trees and shrubs, or whatever you need.
We’re ready to make

Phones are still out
so just come on in!
We’d love to see you!
And remember –
Fall is the ideal time to plant!
Cornelius nursery fire update
We were all saddened to hear of the fire at Cornelius Nurseries last Sunday on Voss Road.
I received an email from them today.
Plans are already underway to rebuild our Voss Road store, but in the meantime, come visit us at 1755 FM 1960 West and 1200 N. Dairy Ashford. You will find the same high level of service and quality, plus you will see the familiar faces of many employees from Voss Road.
We regret the inconvenience caused by the Sunday morning fire, which destroyed our Cornelius store on Voss Road, but appreciate your loyalty. We will keep you posted on the progress of rebuilding that nursery.
Please join us at our store on Dairy Ashford or FM 1960 this Friday from 5-7 pm for Happy Hour and enjoy an additional 20% off your entire purchase. We are still here to serve your gardening needs!
Thank you for your continued support.
Your Cornelius Team
I’ll be looking forward to visiting them again this Fall.
Jerry’s Jungle garden and plant sale
I first ran across Jerry’s Jungle online before I moved to Houston and thought it was wonderful. I’ve been here two and a half years and just recently had a chance to visit. Jerry’s Jungle is only open to the public a few times a year. This is not a garden that will endear you to your neighbors or the HOA, but gardeners will be enchanted.
Jerry’s garden is full of wonderful plants, most are tropical and many collected from around the world on Jerry’s and his wife’s travels.
They have plant sales a few times a year, in April, July and October. I scored a ton of cool loot. My favorites are the sugar cane and castor plants. If you are putting together a tropical garden or looking for unusual plants attend one of Jerry’s sales. You won’t find better prices anywhere.
