We are taking the day off Sunday.

We will be nowhere selling anything Sunday. Taking a much needed day off.....except that I will still have to go out and spend 1+ hours watering all the potted plants, and pick melons and pick raspberries etc. And someone will pull in and want something.......and about that day off?

Mankato Farmers Market

Friday is cut the flowers day for me at Earthworks Gardens. No matter what time I start cutting, I am always making bouquets late into the night. The day is always busy with other things I can't do in the dark.....but there are lights in the flower shop! Stop by and see us Saturday for and 'armload' or 'handful' bouquet of our bodacious flowers! This week also selling single sunflowers, such a smily face! We will have a BOGO for 1/2 price sale at the market on all perennials including iris rhizomes. We also have gift certificates available at the market and the farm location.

Landscape Consultations

Hey folks. One of the services we are offering at EWG this year is 'landscape consulting' for the DIY (do-it-youselfer). This has been very popular in the last 2 weeks. How does it work? I come to your place, walk thru your yard/gardens, I write the to-do list, which can include a sketch and plant suggestions for areas around the foundation, island beds etc. I will suggest pruning, re-shaping, replacing of trees & shrubs when needed. I like to maintain and work with what you have when possible. Often, homeowners just need the 'what's and where's' to get going, and plant suggestions for their site. If this interests you , give me call. I will also have the homeowner email some detail/likes/dislikes before I get there. My fee is $40 per hour.
