We are proud of our new, bigger and better Sparks Garden Center & Greenhouse and this year it is even more our showcase. 2021 will bring a continuation of our efforts to turn our "high desert advice" into VIDEOS ... yes, we have fact sheets, Plant Finder and information all over this website that is specific to where we live; because, we all know that information obtained nationally or from California is not necessarily accurate for our high desert gardening & landscaping. Now, we are turning our high desert advice into videos too. Take a look here! We will be working in 2021 to grow this library of videos to provide another source of local information and to make our promise come alive ... Better Plants. Better Advice. Better Results.

In fact, our Moana Grown for the high desert plants will now feature substantially better plant tags & information as we roll-out this new initiative. You will begin seeing our containers change too.

How Much Water??? (a question we are asked often)
The answer to that question is ... you need to water enough to keep the soil evenly moist. With our warm and windy weather and especially for new plantings, that may mean every day but probably not. Until you get a good feel for how much water your plants need, the best thing to do is to gently poke around the soil just below the surface and adjacent to the root ball. The soil just outside the root ball should be moist but not wet. If you were to grab a handful it would clump together when squeezed but not drip any water. Factors such as sun exposure, wind, soil conditions and your irrigation method will all influence the water frequency needed. Eventually infrequent but deep watering will keep your plants healthy but until they develop an established root system you will need to monitor them closely.
