Everything on the benches
Counts move with the season. Call (208) 555-0142 and a horticulturist confirms stock and holds it at the desk.

Planting advice
Bring a photo or the struggling plant. A horticulturist reads it and writes out what to change, no purchase required.
Plant it once, plant it right
-
Dig wide, not deep
Make the hole two to three times the root ball wide and no deeper than the ball. Planting too deep kills more trees than drought does.
-
Free the roots
Tease circling roots loose from potted stock so they grow out into your soil instead of choking the trunk in a year or two.
-
Backfill with native soil
Leave the bag of amendment out of the hole. Fill with the soil you dug so the roots learn to live in Boise clay from day one.
-
Water deep, then mulch
Soak the root ball, lay 2 to 3 inches of mulch pulled back off the trunk, and water once a week through the first summer.
How a visit works
Come in with photos of the spot you want to plant: the light it gets, the width, and whatever grows there now. A horticulturist walks the lot with you, pulls trees and plants that fit those conditions, and writes care notes on the tag before you load up.
- Veggie and herb starts harden off outdoors for a week before they reach the racks
- Trees over 2-inch caliper can be delivered and planted across the Treasure Valley
- Every tree carries a 2-year guarantee, keep the receipt and the tag
- Soil, compost, and mulch are loaded into your truck at the yard gate
Not sure what fits your yard?
Send photos of the spot through the availability form, or call (208) 555-0142 and ask what is on the lot for that light and soil.
