One of the most misunderstood things in gardening is fertilizer.

People think:
👉 more fertilizer = bigger plants

But fertilizer is mostly dissolved mineral salts carried in water. And when too many salts build up in a container, they can actually make it harder for roots to absorb water properly.

That’s why:
- leaf edges burn
- baskets collapse
- plants suddenly look stressed in summer heat

One of the easiest things you can do?

💧 Water deeply enough that water runs out of the bottom of the pot occasionally. This helps flush excess salts from the root zone before they build up.

Especially important for:
🌺 Hanging baskets
🪴 Patio containers
☀️ Hot summer annuals

Healthy roots = healthier plants.

If you were at a garden center this weekend in Indianapolis and saw a beautiful hanging basket or a thoughtfully composed planter, there’s a good chance it passed through the hands of this shipping team right here.

They worked long hours every day and came in on Saturday to finish up the week, making sure thousands of plants made it out the door and onto garden center benches across the state.

This is a tough, resilient, hardworking group of people, and we are incredibly proud to have them as part of our business.

They made it all possible.
