It's Almost Spring!

Spring is only 3 weeks away! If you're sick of the winter blahs, stop by Schaefer's and see the signs of spring throughout our greenhouses!

These pots of tiny Portulaca will be gorgeous, full hanging baskets in just a few weeks! Portulaca, also known as moss rose, is a sun-loving and drought tolerant annual that make it a perfect, easy care bloomer for hanging baskets.

Looking for something to do with the kids on this rainy, dreary day? Growing plants from seeds is a great late winter project! We have a variety of seeds and everything you need to make them grow. We also carry Grow-A-Head Bugs, a silly pet the kids will enjoy. Plus, you can take a stroll thru our greenhouses to discover all the garden plants that are starting to bloom and grow!
