Making your summer garden a big success:
Do Right's Growers
The secret to a successful summer garden is starting out right. Begin with
deep digging and plenty of compost added to improve drainage, water retention
and soil nutrition. Then choose quality, well grown plants from a reliable
source at your local independent garden retailer. Dave always looks for plants
with healthy white roots, compact growth and plenty of flower buds. Dave
chooses the latest varieties that offer improved colors and disease resistance
that will perform best in the local climate. Always avoid plants with weak root
systems, yellow leaves or stressed from drought or heat.
Do Right's ships quality plants all across California to independent garden retailers.
Visit your garden retailer today to pick quality plants that will give the most
value and performance for your money!
