Sat, Oct 12 at 10 am: Tree Planting Demo

Did you know that fall is the perfect time to plant a tree? Nathan will demonstrate step-by-step how to successfully plant a tree (and protect it from critters) using our tried and true method.

You can watch Nathan in action and then proceed to check out our (quite large) 50% off area. You might find the perfect tree at a screaming good price that you can take home and plant (now that you know how to do it properly :).

I love to shop at Russell’s. The staff is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable.

Excellent, wonderful place for all things for the garden and a very knowledgeable staff to help find just the right plants.
