Seasonal Bulbs, Plants, and Seeds |

Even though February is the shortest
month on the calendar, in New England it can feel like the longest.
About this time of year we start to dread the snow and cold and get
anxious for spring. At the Hadley Garden Center we can help relieve
your winter blues and give your spring gardening plans a jump start.
Come out of the cold and take a walk through our warm greenhouse.
Angela has new plants coming in weekly. Blooming primrose and cyclamen
can add a splash of color to your home and are easy to care for.
New orders of cactus, succulents, and bonsai are in. We?re also bringing
in Hawaiian Volcano Plants to add texture, color, and a bit of the
unusual to your houseplant collections. These plants are grown on
volcanic cinder which holds moisture around the roots like a sponge.
Twelve assorted varieties of these distinct and easy to grow plants
are available.
Our seed racks are overflowing with an abundance of choices for
your gardens. All of the 2009 seeds are in from Johnny's, Renee's,
Seeds of Change (organic), Burpee's, Livingston's, Botanical Interests
(many organic) Olds Seeds (New organic line), Hart's, Plants of Distinction,
New England Seed Company, High Mowing (organic), and Cook's Garden.
In addition to the all the seed varieties you would expect we have
some unusual offerings like white and gold beets, lemongrass, cardoon,
stevia, pitcher plants, epazote, soybeans, artichokes, asparagus,
jack in the pulpit, and even something called pumpkin on a stick!
Our staff can help you with all your seed starting needs.
We have a free seed starting guideline sheet for you and carry all
of the supplies you need!
Some of the more dramatic plants we see blooming in the summer start
out in late winter/early spring as bulbs. We have many extraordinary
varieties of summer bulbs arriving between now and early March. |

|
|
| |
|
| Tuberous begonias are started
indoors in late winter and provide colorful flowers for your shade
gardens all summer long. Dahlias, lilies, gladiolas, cannas, and
calla lilies as well as specialty bulbs like liatris, agapanthus,
freesias, anemone, and foxtail lilies add color, scent, and variety
to your annual and perennial gardens or borders. |

The Garden Within
At the Hadley Garden Center, we're delighted when one of our longtime
yard customers comes up to the counter with an arm around a potted
tropical plant and says, "I didn't know you have a greenhouse!"
Did you know? Just a few steps off the side room, through the arbor,
and you're at the entry to the greenhouse, the murmur of the water
garden in the air and hundreds of plants before you, neatly arrayed
on broad tables.
The stalwarts of indoor plant design -- Philodendron, Dracaena,
Jade -- are mixed with the more sensational -- Rex begonia, Aralia,
Bonsai, Anthurium. Whimsical dish gardens, nestle birds and butterflies
among blossom and leaf, and are bestsellers. We take care of orchid
fanciers with the largest collection of any garden center in the
Pioneer Valley, from the long-flowering and virtually carefree Phalenopsis
to the uncommon Paphiopedilum. You'll also find a good selection
of ferns, cacti and other succulents. And every season brings its
abundance to the tabletop: Sweet Hyacinth, Aromatic Herbs, Cycalmen,
Primrose, Poinsettias and more.
As you might expect from us, our plants are labeled extensively
regarding their maintenance needs and questions are invited -- Angela
loves to share her more than 30 years' experience with houseplants.
She and the rest of our talented staff can help you choose plants
that suit your passion for texture, color, frangrence, or shape and
suit your maintenance habits and the type of space you have. Along
the wall are sacks of potting soils, orchid bark, and bonsai soil
as well as pots, pots, and more pots! Have a plant ready for a new
home? Bring it in, and we'll repot it for a small fee.
Some customers are in the greenhouse every Sunday, and others include
the greenhouse whenever they visit. Other customers, such as the
proprietors of many restaurants, shops, and offices in the Valley,
come regularly for consultation on plant selections. Still other
customers visit us several times before they notice the arbored entry
to ... the garden within the Hadley Garden Center. |

find the right feeder for your situation and to help you with advice
on keeping the squirrels away and your birds happy and healthy.
We
carry bird feeders by Droll Yankee, Woodlink, Audubon, Duncraft,
and Aspects, plus squirrel baffles, bird feeder poles and shepherds
hooks, bird baths, and both bird and bat houses.
We also carry a complete line of bird seed and suet.

Delight. These mixes are designed to attract the widest variety of
birds to your feeder. We also carry C & S suet products for all your
woodpecker's needs. No matter what type of bird you are hoping to
