used as either a focal point or an accent piece, invariably
draw the eye into the garden.

We offer a wide selection of bird baths in classic, woodland
and whimsical styles.
Add the soothing beauty of cascading water to your garden

What could be more inviting on a hot summer day than a bench
in a shady corner or woodland garden. We carry several rustic
styles.
Reflect the beauty of your garden with a gazing ball. We
have orbs in a variety of colors with stands ranging from
Chinese dragons to Italian cupids.
Show off your clemetis and other ornamental vines with a

provide your plants with sturdy support and adorn your garden
for years to come.
Rustic troughs can be planted with alpine perennials to
create a miniature garden perfect for a patio or deck.
SOIL AMENDMENT
Soil amendment is often necessary since few of us are blessed
with the rich loamy soil which most plants love. Here in
the northeast, many of us have the hard-packed clay typical
of this area or are left with builders sand and a thin layer
of top soil after new
construction. Either way, the work you put in to improve
your soil will be well repayed with a beautiful thriving
garden. If you are not sure what type of soil you have,
bring a sample with you to the Nursery and we will be happy
to advise you on how to improve it.
Mountain Pine Soil Mix: Unlike top soil, our soil
mix is a blend of compost, soil, peat moss, and time release
fertilizer. It is the same mix we use to grow our own plants
and you can see the results here at the Nursery. Mountain
Pine Soil Mix is available in 3 cu. ft. bags as well as
1 cu. yd. (pick-up only)
Compost: Compost will improve ANY soil and make your plants
love you. It is available in 3 cu. ft. bags as well as 1
cu. yd.
Fertilizers provide your plants with the food they need.
We offer two types for sale which we use on our own plants
here at the Nursery. Both are time-release fertilizers which
have the advantage of reducing not only run-off, but your
labor as well
.
Osmocote: Available in 2.5 lb boxes and 50 lb bags.
A long acting fertilizer that need be applied only once
every season.
Electra: An organic fertilizer available in 50
lb bags. Needs to be applied twice during the growing season.
Mulches not only give your garden an attractive, well-tended
appearance, but also suppress weed growth and conserve water.
Canadian Cedar: Available in easy to transport
3 cu. ft. bags and large 5 cu. yd. cubes. Purchase of a
cube will give you a saving equal to 15 of the 3 cu. ft.
bags.
DEER REPELLANT: SCRAM
Scram, a new product for Mountain Pine customers is to control
deer browsing.
Scram is a granular product that is used as a perimeter
barrier against deer browsing in the garden. It works on
the defense mechanisms of the deer and keeps them out of
the garden completely – not just away from certain
plants.
Scram has no unpleasant odor and does not wash away under
normal rains or regular irrigation. It is easily applied,
lasts 6 to 8 weeks and even works through 18" of snow.
Mountain Pine Tested
Many landscape customers were asked to trial Scram in their
gardens in 2004. In many severely infested areas these customers
saw excellent results.
Mountain Pine feels that with Scram on the perimeter of
the garden – our ‘old faithful’ deer product–
sprayed on the plants, even the most severe deer browsing
can be kept under control allowing for beautiful gardens
once again.
Remember, the key to successfully deterring deer from the
garden is to start in March as new growth outside of your
garden is readily available for deer to eat. Deer are very
strong creatures of habit – deter them from eating
in your yard early. Use any product at a stronger concentration
in March and April rather than as maintenance in the summer.
