Fall-Planting
Extravaganza at Glover
Park Hardware
Fall is considered
the best time to plant
and Glover Park Hardware
celebrates on Saturday,
September 19th with
workshops & discounts on
lawn-and-garden
supplies.

Washington, D.C. -
September 17, 2009 -
Did you know fall is the
best time of year to
plant shrubs and
perennials? Instead of
being late in the game
as some might think,
planting certain
varieties between
September and December
gives green thumbs a
head start. The
preemptive move allows
roots several months to
grow below ground while
the plant remains
dormant above the soil.
Once spring comes
around, plants are
already established and
acclimated to the soil,
and ready for a spurt of
strong leaves, new top
growth and flowers.
Glover Park Hardware
jumps on the
fall-planting bandwagon

Saturday, September 19,
2009 from 9 a.m. to 8
p.m. for a Fall-Planting
