The Vermont Flower Show is presented by Green Works, Vermont Nursery & Landscape Association (VNLA), a non-profit statewide organization, dedicated to educating and increasing awareness of the growing industry of horticulture (wholesale and retail nurseries, greenhouses, retail garden centers and florists, designers, landscape and tree services). The VNLA Board and Flower Show Committee work thousands of hours in creating a vibrant and colorful community-wide event that educates, entertains, and inspires.

Now in stock We are now carrying Border Concepts! This is a great line of steel edging and tool for the landscape trades. We are currently stocking the Border Guard Edging in black. We also have corners and end stakes/splicer units. Click on the pictures above for more information about these products.
 An Alternative to Polymer Sand
This product will seal your pavers while stabilizing the sand swept into the joints. It is a great option for clay pavers. Since clay has a more porous surface, typical polymer sand might leave a temporary white residue but the sand joint stabilizer minimizes this problem.
No mixing necessary. Simply put into a garden sprayer and apply according to directions.
