The main reason that plants die within 12 months of having been planted is lack of water. Acers will bleed sap if pruned too early.įor the continued healthy growth of your trees, shrubs or hedging it is vital that you follow the advice below. What time of year should I prune? Prune in winter (November to January) when the plant is dormant. Ideally do this when the shoots are young, as the removal of mature stems may weaken the tree. You can also remove shoots growing in unwanted directions, to encourage a good structure. Remove dead or damaged branches in late autumn or winter when the tree is dormant. But, the items are top notch & I've never had a problem with anything I've purchased there through the years (there are exchange/returns, if needed though).ĭid I mention they have a complimentary loyalty program as well?! ($$ spent turns into $$ off).Does not require any routine pruning, but take out any noticeable dieback. If you covet unique, high-quality products for your home or garden (or for fun gifts), then be prepared to spend that little extra. Lurveys is the type of place that you get what you pay for. I'm pretty honest when it comes to my opinions, so I'm going to be honest with this last item as well. Their flowers are well-loved and tended to so they can be transferred right into your garden! Lurveys is my go-to place for spikes (never seen any as tall as theirs). They have fairy gardens, terrariums, koi ponds.and did I mention the gorgeous array of flowers & plants?!? They also have unique gifts for anyone on your list (pet lovers, gardeners, wedding showers, newlyweds, housewarming, the list goes on.) They must've renovated the inside recently because it's huge & has so much more to offer!įor example, there's a coffee station for customers.

I've been coming here for years (I live about an hour away, but stumbled upon this place due to work travel years ago.been making the yearly trek ever since!). The other cashiers at least know how to engage with customers.

She is so unpleasant that the next time I will wait until another cashier is available just so I don't have to encounter her again. When I explained the trays would prevent the plant containers from tipping over, you would have thought I was asking for free money. I could clearly see there were several made up trays on a table but she told me I could only have a plastic sheet. The first encounter I asked for two cardboard trays for the several plants I purchased so they could sit upright in the car. I've had the unfortunate experience of getting her three times in the last month and she has the personality of a thumbtack. My only concern is the grumpy older woman who is a cashier. Without a doubt the quality of the plants are exceptional. I love this store! I find myself there at least twice a week to buy perennials, shrubs, houseplants, and even early this season I purchased trees. It amazes me that not only did employee act this way but the management is on the same page. approach would have been “Excuse me miss I believe that our agent loaded too many plants, can we make sure it’s correct? Sorry for the mistake.” Customer service 101. When my wife brought up this embarrassing conduct the manager basically sided with the employee.If this is how they do business we are definitely no longer customers and our family and friends will be informed of how they treat customers. She then blamed my wife for not being aware of the extra plants, inferring that she’s a thief.

My wife began to leave and a saleslady starts yelling and waving hands that she’s not allowed to leave with those plants. The person loading made an error and loaded too many. Their job is to correlate the order to what’s supposed to be loaded. She submitted the receipt and the agent loads the vehicle. My wife went to pick up a plant order which she had multiples of but some were on backorder. My wife and I have been customers since 2004.
