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

Bring bird song into the garden with an ornamental birdbath. We offer a wide selection of bird baths in classic, woodland and whimsical styles.

Add the soothing beauty of cascading water to your garden with a fountain. Both free standing and wall fountains are available and all include electric pumps.

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 graceful trellis or arch. Made of cast aluminum, they will 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.
