The garden center's year
The store's own planting calendar, with what the record shows on the shelf each season. For this year's schedule, the store's advice is to stop by or call.
Spring
“Time to plant cool-season vegetables, apply pre-emergent mulch, and start planting hardy perennials.”
On the shelf. Flowers, veggie starts and herbs, as the store's Easter post announced them.

“Plan next season, service Stihl equipment, and prepare soil amendments for spring.”

Christmas trees and wreaths? The store's truck wore them in the 2024 Lovingston Christmas Parade; whether they are for sale is the store's to say.
Bring the details
The nursery's advice, in the store's words: tell staff about sunlight, soil type, drainage and how much care you want to give, and bring photos of the space.
Planning a bigger bed? The store says it can help estimate the topsoil, compost and mulch it takes.
