Garden of Seedin’

Dutch Gardens

Mary, Mary, quite contrary?

You would be, too, if your tulips had just committed mass suicide and your lettuce looked clinically depressed.

If only Mary would hand the soiling and toiling over to the green thumbs at Dutch Gardens.

Their experts promise more than your run-of-the-mill rose garden. After a quick phone consultation, they send you bulbs for the potted plot of your dreams — shade, butterfly-friendly, even flowering fruit-filled — along with detailed instructions and a virtual blueprint to use as a guide.

Order in the next few weeks for a summer garden. Hold off a bit, and they’ll prepare a delivery of bulbs that will ensure beautiful fall blooms.

And before long, everything will be coming up roses.
