Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13th!
Bring your Mom in to browse our garden treasures.  We'll have loads of flowering beauty in her favorite color & plenty of gifts for the garden and home.   Moms will receive a free sample of our popular Mangiacotti lotions.

Memorial Day Weekend is May 26-28
We're open Memorial Day Weekend, the unofficial start of outdoor entertaining.  We have plenty of patio furniture, lanterns, candles, tablecloths and tableware for eating outside, plus some ideas on how to keep bugs from inviting themselves to your outdoor gatherings.

Tons of Tomatoes

   What would summer meals be without ripe, juicy tomatoes? Choose from our selection of old-time favorites to new hybrids, in gallons and 4-inch sizes.    Among the new varieties:
Health Kick: a high-yielding plum tomato containing 50% more of the antioxidant Lycopene with bright red fruits on disease-resistant determinate plants.
Momotaro (Peach Boy): a very sweet, pink fruited, indeterminate Japanese hybrid. It produces a medium-sized salad tomato and is the most popular variety in Japan.
Red Zebra: a highly productive, indeterminate tomato yielding juicy and flavorful three-inch fruits with red and golden-streaked skin.
Window Box Roma: an excellent variety for container gardening or a small space. It produces two-to-three-ounce pear-shaped red fruit on a determinate plant.

Celebrate Mother’s Day
at Bainbridge Gardens!

   Bring your mom to Bainbridge Gardens for Mother’s Day, Sunday May 13th. We'll have hanging baskets and containers
in full glory. The New Rose Cafe will be open, featuring mimosas & a new avocado salad, along with the regular menu.
   Need gift ideas?  Our gift shop is freshly stocked with new glass tableware imported from Germany, vintage-inspired tin and metal decor, pretty linens, Canadian shortbreads topped with edible flowers, and an enticing new line of soap, as well as charming garden hats, gloves, tools and garden shoes.
  A rhododendron in sunny yellow, apricot, peach or rosy lemon tones can brighten any garden.  Three standouts for great flowers and nice foliage are "Honey Butter," "Nancy Evans" and "Hotei."
  A new series of Heucheras with vividly colored foliage reads like a dessert menu and will make a sweet addition. "Crème Brûlé" has pale caramel to bronze leaves, with reddish tones in fall. "Key Lime Pie" has large, fresh lime green leaves and "Peach Melba" has peachy orange leaves with a pink underside and red veining.
