Today is the first day of autumn and with the change in season comes the marvelous display of colored leaves that splash warm hues of splendor across our landscape. This flaring of foliage, like a peacocks’ prideful parade of feathers, is not just happenstance. There is actually a science behind the beauty of why leaves change their color in preparation for winter.
As summer is winding down, it’s time to think about fall planting. At McDonald Garden Center, our staff has been busy with copious amounts of conferences, meetings, and research to determine what selection of trees and shrubs to recommend to our customers. Fully caffeinated and armed with product brochures, our revered horticulturalists, and a lot of Cheez-Its®, we took into account a variety of factors. These included ease of care, adaptability for the Hampton Roads region, color, curb appeal, and overall aesthetics. And finally, we’ve come to a consensus!
The fall lawn season is nearly upon us and after the long, hot, Hampton Roads' summer, it's time to start preparing for re-establishing your lawn or maybe preparing for a new lawn. We want you to be prepared when the weather cools in September to easily be able to lay your seed and have the lush lawn you have always wanted.
