A Night of Moths with Jim McCormac and Chelsea Gottfried

Back by popular demand! If you missed this event last summer, you’re in for a treat because we’re offering another opportunity to discover the world of moths with acclaimed naturalists, photographers, and coauthors of “Gardening for Moths," Jim McCormac and Chelsea Gottfried. We’ll begin with an evening presentation, followed by a nighttime caterpillar crawl to search out what’s here at the nursery and which host plants they’re using. Bring your blacklights if you have them; some of these cats will give off a lovely light show!

Plant Care & Installation Quick-Guide
Plant Care & Installation Quick-Guide

Proper acclimation and installation are key to your plant's success. Please cross-reference these tips with your plant's specific ID tags:

·       
Pre-Planting: Store plants in a light-appropriate area on soil or grass (avoid hot concrete or asphalt) and water daily until the soil is saturated and the pot feels heavy. If temperatures drop below 30°F, move pots to a garage or cover them to prevent root freeze.

·       
Installation: Dig a hole matching the depth of the pot, remove the fabric container, and ensure the plant’s crown or root flare is level with the ground. Fill gaps with soil, water heavily, and apply 2 inches of mulch—keeping it clear of the stem.

·       
Ongoing Care: Check moisture daily by feeling 1–2 inches into the soil; water deeply at the base if the soil feels dry or warm. Newly installed plants require frequent watering (up to 3–4 times weekly in heat) until fully established, which can take a few months for perennials and up to two years for trees.
