Q -Hello, I am going to purchase my plants and trees from Evergreen Nursery for my new home. I’d like to come in and place my order, pick the plants, and set the delivery date What is your timeline for delivery to San Marcos? I’m trying to figure out when I should cone in. I am only purchasing the plants / trees for my front yard at this point and would like to work with someone when I come in. Is it best to just stop in, or to make an appointment? I have a general plan of what plants I would like to use, but being new to CA, I would like some expertise from one of your nursery professionals. Also, I couldn’t find any information regarding warranty on your material. Is it the typical one-year? A - When you are ready, call the Manager at our 760-754-0340 Oceanside Location. He or one of his experienced nursery people will be able to show you some of the mainy plants we have and help you make the choices that best fit your landscape needs and wants. It is a 70 acre facility that you drive through and load directly into you vehicle or if you need it delivered, we can normally have it done between 2-3 days from purchase. We do not offer any warranties. We are a wholesale nursery that is open to the public. That means the plants are all locally grown (do not need to be acclimated to your landscape) it also means a wholesale price Generally speaking if you plant it right and water,feed it right your plants are going to do great, and if for any reason they seem to be not doing great we are only a phone call away. Given the stress symptons over the phone or even taken a sample of the stress we can normally always tell you what to correct to have a happy plant. Our plants are sometimes as much as 3 to 4 times least expensive then what you will pay "retail for! Our staff of nursery professionals are all waiting to help you make your garden grow. Thank you for the inquiry, Wally (and of course i am just an email away from answering ant question you might have)

Green Thumbs Not Necessary for Landscaping Maybe you don't have a green thumb-but you do not have to resort to covering your entire yard with an expanse of lawn to avoid gardening pitfalls. Some landscapes can be foolproof, and thrive in spite of your lack of gardening ability. You can grow anything if you follow these simple guidelines. 1. Don't try to tackle too much if you don't have the time, experience and desire. In other words: Don't get overly ambitious. 2. Choose hardy plant varieties that aren't touchy. They should be able to handle our relatively poor soils and salty irrigation water. 3. Take time in the beginning to learn how to take care of what you plant in your yard. Ask your Nurseryperson. His or her advice is free and reliable. Also, don't try to do everything at once if you are tentative. You can landscape in phases, improving your confidence as you go. Basically, al it takes to grow vegetation is water, fertilizer and sun. The investmentof your time can be minimal. Sprinklers or drip systems have become almost a necessary convenience today. Hook them up to a timer, and your yard can water itself. You don't need to be a horticulturalist to understand how to use fertilizer. One good rule of thumb is to feed everything in your yard four times a year, or once a season. Some plants can use more fertilizer if you have the time, but with four feedings a year they will stay healthy. One good, all-purpose, granular fertilizer like Gro-Power can be used on everything. Mix it into the soil before you plant and sprinkle it around individual plants,trees,shrubs, and flowers thereafter when you feed. Watering and fertlizing a yard does not take a lot of know how-just a small amount of time and commitment. Where gardening can get tricky is in the types of plants you choose. Your choices can create a landscape that takes care of itself, or one that needs constant care.
