Celebrate "America 250"
by planting flowers in honor of our nation's birthday
Let's drape central Kentucky in
red, white, and blue flowers to
celebrate our country's momentous
250th birthday!
America's 250th birthday is this year, and we are already receiving large pre-orders for red, white, and blue annuals. We're anticipating many other similar, large plantings to commemorate our country's semiquincentennial.
If you're planning to participate in the celebration by including red, white, and blue flowers in your landscape, gardens, farm entrances, planters, window boxes, sidewalk strip, etc, the sooner you can let us know, the better, to ensure that we'll have plenty of appropriate flowers when you need them.
It will be fun, fresh, and beautiful to see homes and businesses in central Kentucky draped in red, white, and blue flowers for this deeply meaningful year in our country's history.​
Call us to discuss your plans and needs, or to brainstorm with our designers about the best plants for your home or business.
​​You won't be limited to only using annuals; we can recommend other beautiful flowers in this color scheme, which may include perennials, natives, blooming shrubs, and more, to keep the theme going through all of the seasons this special year.
Our designers will also be ready to create gorgeous, patriotic planters for you.
​
The deadline for large retail and wholesale pre-orders is February 15th. After that, you will still have access to red, white, and blue flowers, but we don't want you to risk missing the exact species and varieties in the quantities that you need.
Plant a tree as a birthday gift to America
Oaks are the official trees of the United States
(and Bur Oaks are the official trees of Lexington)
When Oaks were named the official tree of the United States, it was determined that all oaks, not just one specific species, would be included. Therefore, any native oak species, including our own Kentucky native Oaks, qualify.
Native Kentucky Oaks include many of the very best species: White, Bur, Chinquapin, Chestnut, Shumard, Southern Red, Northern Red, Swamp White, Post, Black, Scarlet, and others -- all GREAT trees. ​​​
"Planting an oak tree to celebrate 'America 250' is perfect; a great, strong, resilient, long-lived, beautiful tree representing our great, strong, resilient, long-lived, beautiful country."
Your oak tree will clean the air, manufacture oxygen, feed countless beneficial insects and pollinators, songbirds and wildlife, provide shelter, create curb appeal, increase your property value, and enhance any neighborhood.​​
We can help you select an Oak tree, and we'll make it very easy for you with our starter-sized one, two, or three gallon Kentucky native Oaks in some of the easiest and most popular species to grow. We can also acquire larger trees for you, if you prefer, and we have very ease, step-by-step planting and care instructions to set your tree up for success and a long, happy life, in commemoration of our nation's birthday.​
