Garden To-Do List: Prep for Fall

October 10, 2018 by Stephanie Maxwell Newton

As the temperatures begin to dip, it’s time to start prepping your garden for autumn and winter. To get an idea of what we should be doing before it gets too cold out, we talked to Sharon Carr and Ryan Sniegocki at Hocott’s Garden Center—and also asked what they’re growing this fall. “I do Indian Hawthorns and twice-blooming azaleas in my front yard,” Sharon says. “In my side yard, I have loropetalums, and in my backyard along my fence, that’s where I have all my edibles. I have a little vegetable garden back there where I grow cabbage, kale, swiss chard, pansies, and mums.”

Read on for three items to add to your to-do list to prep your garden for the colder months.

Time to Bump in to Pumpkins

Part of a series: Living the Good Life with Chris Olsen

The end of summer is a bittersweet time, but it’s also when certain crops are ready for market. And many of your summer annuals, so vibrant and luscious during the hot months, are now showing their age and wear (though some seem to thrive even now, at the end of the season—I’m looking at you, dragon-wing begonia). The last of the hay has been baled, apples and pears are beginning to tumble into the stores and farmers markets, and muscadines are ripe, a fact not lost on true Southerners. So here comes the fun stuff: pumpkins.

Above: A typical display we have at both Botanica and Plantopia. With such variety, how could you go home with just one? Mix the colors, combine shapes, stack them all cheek-to-cheek. There is no formal pattern for your fall display.…

Vase & Vine Opens New Storefront

July 18, 2018 by Stephanie Maxwell Newton

Clarksville florist Vase & Vine has expanded its floral studio to Little Rock with the opening of a new storefront at 2901 West Markham St. in Stifft Station. Manager Gabrielle Schryver says full-service wedding design in central Arkansas has been “taking off” in the past year, which led to the decision to put down roots in the capital city. “We wanted to bring something completely different to the Little Rock area,” Gabrielle says. “We are very versatile with our design, but we thrive in natural and organic style.” Gabrielle’s mother, Gina Schryver, has owned and operated the Clarksville location for 14 years. In addition to wedding design, Vase & Vine also offers fresh arrangements and delivery. Find more information at facebook.com/vaseandvine.…

They source flowers from all over the world, including two farms in Arkansas: Delta Sol Farm in Proctor and Wilson Gardens in Wilson. The Memphis natives have now released an inspirational coffee table book, Florists to the Field, which features a behind-the-scenes look at the designers as they conjure breathtaking tablescapes inspired by and created in the settings of each of their source farms. Other farms featured in the book include locations in Louisiana, Wisconsin, Oregon, California, and Holland. For a list of upcoming signings and to purchase the book, visit southerlymedia.com.
