Spring/Summer Time at Mad River Garden Center

Spring time is a very busy time at the Mad River Garden Center. Our staff is busy in the greenhouses planting starter plants. By mid April our locally grown perennials are ready to go.

Now is a good time to get a jump start on your spring and summer gardening projects. The MRGC has grow lights and heat pads, as well as a nice selection of organic biodegradable/eco pots and seed trays to start your seedlings in as well as a fabulous selection of vegetable, herbs and flower seeds. Ask about our all organic starting mixes as well.

In the garden center we have a wonderful selection of early blooming potted plants just in time for Easter and Mother's Day. You'll find blooming hyacinths, mini daffodils, jonquils, and tulips. These lovely early blooming potted plants make lovely Gifts and are also a great way to get your spring fix by adding a touch of spring color to your home.

May 1st the greenhouses open to the public. In them you will find a variety of vegetable starters, herbs, geraniums in a beautiful array of colors, ground cover plants, shade plants, draught tolerant plants, high heat/direct sun plants and much more. All have been hand selected from local growers to ensure they will thrive in our climate. Along with the fabulous bedding plants we have a nice selection of lush hanging baskets to choose from. Now is a great time to have us create your custom hanging baskets.

Our landscaping department is busy getting ready for a busy season. Our experienced and helpful staff is always on hand to help you design and and even install your perennial beds, rock gardens, flower boxes and potted gardens. MRGC also enjoys working on larger scale landscaping projects. With 2 skid steers and our mini excavator/loader we are able to help move and set boulders, do light logging and forestry management, tree and shrub removal and planting, as well as help build stone patios and walkways, retaining and rock walls. What ever the project we have the equipment and the experience to get the job done.

The Mad River Property Management crew are starting the switch from winter cleanup to spring home care. Brush clearing, lawn and garden bed cleanup among other property care. In the summer they're busy installing rock gardens, designing and planting garden beds as well as other landscaping functions.
