This season we once again can garden then walk right next store to check out a book or attend an event at the newly reopened Lawncrest Library!

Join us tomorrow to celebrate the grand reopening of the renovated Lawncrest Library!

This time-tested gardening technique isn’t just about making your veggie patch look good—it’s about boosting plant health, improving yields, and cutting down on pests, all while keeping your soil happier than a worm in compost. Read our blog, ‘The Social Lives Of Plants: A Guide To Companion Planting’, linked below, to explore why companion planting deserves a starring role in your garden this season 🪱🌻🍅
