Garden Design - Landscaping connects the indoor space with the outdoor space. Plants should work together with the hardscape in continuity. Like other forms of art, gardens have lines, colors, and textures. Yet, a unique aspect of a garden is that because it is alive it continues to change over time so that a fourth dimension must be considered. Additionally, not all specimens have the same adaptability so consideration must be given to site location in addition to the homeowners’ inspirations.

Tree docter services - Some people claim that they don’t have a green thumb and are nervous to garden. If you notice that your plant is not growing or looks off, we may be able to help you figure out its cause or provide a solution.

Custom propagation - Our propagation methods help us to make unusual selections more accessible; however, sometimes a plant is not just a plant. Many plants in one’s yard have a story behind them. The same methods we use to mass produce trees could help you preserve your stories when you move to a new home or believe your tree is starting to decline.

Soil consultations - Various factors related to the soil must be considered when selecting plant material for a location. Dr. John Mikulcik, a founding member of Mikulcik’s Nursery, dedicated his research to agronomy and the science of soil. Available moisture in the soil is greatly influenced by the size of the soil particles, the availability of drainage, and the presence of compaction. Soil probes can be used to learn more about a particular site. It is often recommended that pH samples be obtained when they are unknown. The native soils in Calloway County are often slightly acidic; however, it is not uncommon for soil pH to have been artificially increased with lime or organic mulch, which can have significant effects on the availability of nutrients in the soil.

Mushroom logs - Mushrooms are not plants, but many are still edible. We have produced shiitake logs for decades and currently have two different strains. Shiitake thrive in oak logs left outside in a shady location. They are low maintenance and good for beginning fungi enthusiasts. We typically use Japanese sawtooth oak trees for this purpose.

Pruning - Boxwoods and Yews can be slightly pruned in the late-spring and more vigorously cut back in the fall. Many species tolerate more intense pruning during the winter after dormancy begins. With flowering and fruiting bushes, care must be given to prevent removing the next season’s flowers. Many fruit trees also become more susceptible to infection if wounded by cuts during warm, wet times of the year. Gas and electric pruning shears can be used to save time; however, they often leave ragged edges, drop small branches on the ground, and fail to open light holes to the center of plants. Professional pruning services are available on a limited basis.

Educational Events - Follow our social media to learn when we are hosting a program. Parking is limited and carpooling is encouraged for large groups.
