Whether you’re replacing a tree, starting a new landscape, or just adding some flowers to your garden, now is the perfect time to plant!

Why? Cooler temperatures reduce stress on plants and the need for watering. Also, during the transition from Summer to Fall, the soil retains the warmth from Summer which is optimal for root growth, creating a strong root system.

Now, here’s how to plant:

  1. Remove the Container
  2. Dig the Hole
  3. Prepare the Planting Mix
  4. Fill the Hole
  5. Water and Fertilizer

Kerby’s Watering Schedule*:

Everyday for the 1st month
Every other day the 2nd month
Twice a week the 3rd month
*remembering to always water in the morning

For more detailed information on our planting instructions and watering schedule, visit Kerby’s Planting Instructions – Kerby’s Nursery and Kerby’s Watering Instructions – Kerby’s Nursery (available under the Resources tab on our website).

Anybody can sell you plants, we make sure you succeed.
