If you are starting a new garden or just looking to fill in some bare spots in an existing garden, then be sure to make it to Swanson’s for their annual fall sale. This is one of the best deals in the city for gardeners – all trees, shrubs and vines are 40% off and perennials, herbs and groundcovers are 25% off. Fall is the best time to put in new plants, since mother nature takes care of watering everything in for you, and you’re off to a great start next Spring.

The sale starts this Thursday, August 28 and goes through September 28. It’s always very crowded the first weekend, but what a lot of people don’t realize is that they bring in new inventory throughout the sale. So do yourself a favor and wait until after the first weekend to go, but by all means go check it out!
