It is the middle of November, and we have finally had our first hard frost here at Creekside Nursery. With that frost comes the opportunity to get some great Fall garden chores accomplished! Join Jerry and me as we take a garden tour of the nursery and talk about the things we are actively doing to prepare the nursery for Winter. We did have a bit of a hiccup while filming so we do apologize for the disruption while filming. We here at Gardening with Creekside are just keeping it real for you sweet people!

Homemade soy candles are an easy DIY you can do at home with just a few supplies, and if you are also making your own cold process soap then you will use some of the same supplies for both. They smell amazing, they are cheaper than store-bought ones and they won’t contain any paraffin wax which is good because who really wants to burn petroleum by-products in their home? Definitely not me!

Robert Frost penned the phrase “good fences make good neighbors”, and what could be a more beautiful fence than one made up of beautiful trees?! This past week we planted a privacy screen along the back edge of our property using Thuja Green Giants and Burkii Eastern Redcedars to ensure that we will continue to have privacy in our backyard. Join us as we walk you through the process of planting these low maintenance, fast growing, gorgeous trees.
