#DidYewKnow Dogwood flowers don't have petals? They have bracts!

Bracts are modified leaves, and what you see in the center of the bloom are the true flowers of the dogwood. Each cluster is made up of about 20 tiny flowers. As they bloom, the showy bracts expand to attract pollinators.

If you'd like to learn more cool facts about dogwoods and other spring blooming trees, make sure to sign up for the upcoming in-person Spring Blooming Trees plant walk happening this Saturday, April 17th from 9am to 10am! To register, follow the link in our bio. 🌿

Plan your spring visit to Yew Dell today!

It all starts with a seed!

One seed can lead to a long summer of delicious vegetables or to many years of beautiful blooms and lush foliage. Whether you’re growing crops, ornamentals, or annuals, starting from seed is a small and easy task that can yield big results.

Depending on what plants you are growing, there are different methods that work best. Some seed should be started early indoors, while others prefer to be sown directly into the garden. It is always best to follow the instructions and recommendations on your seed packet. Here at Yew Dell, we’ve already started hundreds of seeds that will later be planted in the gardens or placed in our plant market to purchase.
