[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our Top Garden Picks for 2021 are an annual tradition, highly anticipated every year by gardeners who love insider recommendations from the pros.
The beauty of gardening is to appreciate the perennial returns, the joy in replanting our favorite annuals, and seeking out new additions.
We’re all driven by the beauty of a particular plant, but there’s so much inherent value in all garden flowers. When it comes down to it, our choices are ultimately driven by conditions – factors of space, light, soil, purpose or preference.
We’ve selected our Top Garden Picks for 2021 for their value in attributes of color, fragrance, cutting, interest and bloom longevity for best value and interest throughout the season.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Shop with your heart – it knows what makes you happy, and our pros are ready to help you decide if a particular plant will be happy in your space. Look at the plant attributes to see if it will have proper light, soil conditions and adequate room to grow. If something catches your eye, but is not right for the place you have in mind, we can often assist in finding suitable replacements, with equally pleasing features.
Perennials will have a more limited bloom time, so annuals are an excellent complement in beds and containers for vivid color all summer long.
See You At Studley’s!
