Is Your Lawn Cultured? 

As Hyannis Country Garden approaches it's 61st birthday, we thought that we'd share one of our most important developments that makes us who we are today. In 2007, five employees, including President and General Manager Jocelyn Duffley, attended the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) conference for certification in organic land care. 

Waking Up Your Dahlias

With unlimited varieties (cross-pollination creates new ones all the time!), in so many colors and intriguing flower patterns, it's no wonder why the dahlia has become so popular. From pom-pom blooms to spider-like petals, dahlias make the best bouquets and ensure a vibrant garden in the summer and fall months.

Winter Sowing

"Winter Sowing" is the process of planting seeds in recycled containers, famously milk jugs, to leave outdoors in the winter for cold stratification and spring germination. You may consider this method if you want a "set it and forget it" style of seed starting, lack space indoors to start in trays, or if you forgot to scatter your spring blooming flower seeds in the fall. 

Winter Flowers in the Greenhouse

Our greenhouse, where the houseplants live, is a sanctuary in these winter months and we can't highlight it enough. If you didn't make it to 'Breathing Room' Saturdays in January, we still want to invite you to come in for a deep breath and feel inspired.
