May Plant Tips
- Prune spring flowering trees and shrubs right after they flower. This includes azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs, dogwoods, and many other spring bloomers.
- Plant summer blooming bulbs such as elephant ears, canna and dahlias.
- Cut back Montauk daisies by half. Do this again in June.
- Wait until Mother’s Day (May 11) to plant annuals, herbs, and warm weather vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant and peppers outdoors.
- Pinch perennial mums back 1-2 inches every 3-4 weeks now through mid-July. This will help to keep your plants dense and sturdy.
- Give your houseplants a summer vacation by transitioning them outdoors beginning mid-May.
- Participate in our annual Plastic Recycling Program May 12 – July 17. The program is open to all home gardeners. To ensure proper recycling, participants must follow a few simple rules:
-
- Only garden plastics (pots, trays, cell packs) are accepted.
- No household plastics, food containers, plastic bags, or clay pots.
- Please remove all soil, rocks, and debris from containers.
- No metal, hangers, or other noon-plastic items.

This place is phenomenal.
"Incredible plants, pots, outdoor decor, outdoor furnishings and more. In Spring, they host an amazing garden show. It is well worth a trip to Westbury to visit this nursery.”

I love it here!
“Prices are fair, all plants are in *pristine* condition & the staff is amazing. I drive 50 minutes from Brooklyn... (They) really speak the language of plant & garden lovers.”
