Hello Friends,

We are happy to welcome the month of April! The start of a New Growing Season is here! Landscaping and gardens are being renewed with green foliage and colorful blooms. Our nursery and greenhouse areas are filling up with plants to help you create beautiful outdoor spaces. Whether you want to create colorful curb appeal, quiet places to relax, or beautiful spaces to enjoy the company of family and friends, you can find the plants and supplies you need at Hoffmann Hillermann’s.

Bees and other pollinators are appearing on early blooming plants. All our beautiful plants and crops need the assistance of pollinators to thrive and produce. If you are a beekeeper or want to become a beekeeper, come visit us to see the supplies in our Beekeeping display. We have a good selection. Keep these garden friends safe and be careful with treatments around blooming plants. Click here for pesticide and pollinator information from pollinator.org.

Birds are active preparing for the nesting season as they gather materials to build a nest and perform their beautiful spring songs. Provide clean nesting boxes, feeders and food to attract and assist your favorite birds. If you need new items, we have a great selection in our bird and wildlife department. We can help you with the foods and items that will help you attract your favorite species. Hang up your Hummingbird Feeders now!

Enjoy the Growing Season from Spring through Fall!

Hello Friends,

Happy SPRING! According to the calendar, spring started on Tuesday the 19th. Although, we know cold weather and spring frosts are possible through April. Make sure you are ready to protect your plants when forecasts show overnight temperature dips and the possibility of frost. Keep some old sheets handy for a quick cover up when needed. We’ve been receiving shipments regularly. Cool season flower and vegetable plants are available. Pansies, violas, alyssum, dianthus, dusty miller, and snapdragons are a few of the flowers that grow better in the cool, early spring weather. Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, spinach, kale and onions are some of the vegetables to start in early spring. Come by often and see all that is available as new shipments arrive.

It’s time to apply preemergent treatments in lawns and flowerbeds where you will not be sowing seeds. We can help you with DIY options – or we can do it for you with our full line of Landscape Maintenance Services. Stop by or call us at 636-239-6729 to learn more about our services.

It’s also time to make sure your Lawn & Garden Equipment is ready for the new season. Our Equipment Center offers quality brands of new equipment, plus parts and service for your current pieces. Our sales staff can help you select new equipment to best suit your needs.

Let us help you get started on a great growing season!

Hello Friends,

Spring is not far off, making now a great time to get started on early spring projects in your gardens, lawn and landscaping. Our March Top Tips article will help you with reminders of what you can do this month to get a good start on the new growing season (linked here and among the articles in the newsletter). Now is the time to apply Pre-emergent Weed Control to your Lawn and Gardens. Crabgrass is the main target for the pre-emergent step of a lawn program since it spreads by seed. It is important to apply this early in spring before the seeds start to germinate. This treatment will prevent seeds of crabgrass and other weeds and grasses from germinating – so it is only for use on established lawns that will NOT be seeded in spring. Weeds that are already rooted should be targeted with the second step of weed and feed or with spot treatments in late spring. A pre-emergent treatment in the garden beds will help control weeds and grass from starting by seed. Again, only use this treatment in areas where you will NOT be sowing seeds. It is best to remove rooted weeds and grass in beds by pulling or hoeing to keep prized plants safe from weed killers. Then apply the pre-emergent control before adding a fresh layer of mulch. See more helpful articles as you scroll through this newsletter.

New shipments of plants and items are arriving frequently! Stop by and visit often to browse through our departments to see our new items and displays. We are ready to welcome spring and spring visitors!

Hello Friends,

The days are getting longer, which means SPRING is getting closer! In between late winter weather events, take advantage of the days that you can comfortably work outside. You can clean up your beds and remove dead growth from the previous season. Cut perennials to 3” above the ground (6” above the ground for ornamental grasses and hardy hibiscus). Remove damaged foliage, any old flower stalks and seed heads. To control Iris borer, clean up and destroy the old foliage before new growth begins. Avoid the urge to work up your garden soil too early. Tilling too early in the season, or when the soil is wet, can result in the soil becoming compacted and make it dry out too fast.

You can plan Deep Root Feeding treatments for your trees and shrubs into your schedule soon. The best time to do this is when trees are waking up from dormancy in the spring to provide extra nutrients. This treatment injects fertilizer into the ground at the roots and gives your trees added security to handle the stress of our different seasons and weather variations. Winter is bad enough, but the heat and drought of summer in our area is extra hard on plants. This will help the plants get a good start before the harsh conditions of summer arrive. You can do this treatment yourself – or we can do it for you! Call us at 636-239-6729 or stop by and visit our Landscape Office to set up this or other Landscape and Lawn services.

Hello Friends,

Do you need something to keep you busy during the winter months? Move your gardening interests indoors! Caring for houseplants and tropical plants is a great way to keep yourself inspired through the season. Create a new houseplant combo garden, terrarium or mini garden to enhance a special spot in your home. Pick up a new pre-potted plant to add interest and beauty to the décor of a room. Don’t forget, houseplants also help remove toxins from and add oxygen to the indoor air! We have a great selection of indoor plants for you to choose from including mini plants and succulents!

Start planning your flower, vegetable and landscape gardens now! Note the plants that you want to include in your spring gardens. Plan the design of your gardens. Check your garden tools for pieces that you need to repair or replace. Start shopping for containers, soil, tools, seeds and seed starting supplies now. Livingston Seeds just arrived, and the Botanical Interests Seeds are available year-round. Stop by for a visit and start getting your supplies now. You can pick up a little at a time and be ready when spring arrives!

Remember, we can also help you with Fresh Flowers, Gifts and Décor; New Equipment or Service on your current units; Lawn and Landscape Maintenance; and Landscape and Irrigation design and installation.
