We’ve FALLen in Love! Our Picks for the Season

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.

Showy Summer Perennials

We love perennials that come back each year in the garden. Perennials are considered to be ornamental plants that reappear for more than one growing season.

An Early Spring Favorite

SCABIOSA (Pincushion Flower) We know spring is close when you start to see the lavender blossoms of Scabiosa. Also called Pincushion Flowers, they get their name from the interestingly shaped flowers, which resemble little pincushions.

Let’s Talk Lawns

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.

Holy Hydrangeas!!!

There are some plants that should be in every garden and Hydrangeas are at the top of our list ~ an absolute must have! Nothing says summer like these beautiful blooming shrubs.

Pretty Primrose

PRIMROSE If you’re yearning for a kiss of spring, but Mother Nature seems somewhat slow to oblige, don’t despair. Primroses can be grown with minimum of effort on ny windowsill.

NEW FALL TRENDS FOR 2016

Melamine Plates “They’re not paper!” With the look of paper plates, these whimsical melamine plates have been flying off the shelves since we got them in.

Much Ado About Pots

A Guide to Container Planting Container planting is not just for small spaces. Utilizing pots can be a three dimensional artistic display, customized to your character and offering a form of expression that exudes beauty of design.

Grace & Beauty Through all Seasons

Japanese Maples Without a doubt, Japanese maples are by far one of the most popular and versatile of ornamental trees. People absolutely love them, and for good reason they are beautiful!

We’re taking a trip back in time to 1975. See McDonald Garden Center Owner, Eddie Anderson, reminisce about the marketing techniques of yesteryear.
