July is the stretch of summer every Wisconsin gardener waits for. The beds are full, the daylilies and coneflowers are putting on their best show of the year, and the evenings in Cedarburg are finally warm enough to sit outside and do nothing at all. That last part matters more than we usually give it credit for.
This month we are leaning into that idea. Our July special is 35 percent off every Cohasset bamboo wind chime in the shop, all month long.
About the Cohasset chimes
If you have not seen these up close, they are worth the trip. Each one is handcrafted in Bali from bamboo, coconut shell, and solid wood, then hand carved, hand painted, and hand tuned by the same family of artisans. The carved birds are done close to life size, and the designs run from bright songbirds to butterflies to the occasional animal. The bamboo tubes are tuned by ear to a soft, warm tone that carries on a breeze without ever getting loud enough to bother the neighbors. Because each set is tuned by hand, no two sound exactly alike.
The materials are part of the appeal. Bamboo and coconut are fast growing and sustainably sourced, and the artisans who make them are paid fairly for the work. You are buying a real piece of craft, not something stamped out by the thousands.
Why a wind chime, and why now
A chime is a small thing, but it changes how a garden feels. Hang one near the patio or a favorite bench and your yard picks up a soundtrack for those slow July evenings. It is the kind of detail that turns a space you work in into a place you actually want to sit. If you have been telling yourself to spend more time enjoying the garden this summer, this is a gentle push in that direction.
They make an easy gift, too. A bamboo chime suits just about anyone with a porch or a patio, which covers most summer birthdays and the occasional thank you for a neighbor who waters your tomatoes while you are away.
A little July garden planning
While you are thinking about that quiet corner, July is also a good time to look ahead to late season color so the view stays interesting into fall. If a bed looks thin right now, asters, sedums, and ornamental grasses planted this summer will carry it well into October. Walk the garden, mark the gaps, and you will thank yourself in September.
Come have a listen
The chime special is in-store only, so stop in and pick one out in person. Half the fun is standing in the aisle, giving a few a gentle push, and finding the one that sounds right to you. You will find us at 10801 Pleasant Valley in Cedarburg, open seven days a week through the summer: Monday through Friday 8 to 6, Saturday 8 to 4, and Sunday 10 to 4.

June settles the garden into its summer rhythm. The big spring rush has passed, perennials are filling in, and shrubs that flowered in late spring are setting fruit for the months ahead. This month we’re shining the spotlight on a compact, bird-friendly native shrub: Blue Muffin Viburnum.
June Special: 25% Off Blue Muffin Viburnum
All June, Blue Muffin Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) is 25% off at our Cedarburg garden center. Blue Muffin is a compact selection of arrowwood viburnum, a North American native species. White flower clusters in late spring give way to showy blue berries in late summer and fall, and the foliage finishes the year in red to reddish-purple tones. The 5–7 foot habit fits more yards than the larger arrowwoods that can reach eight or nine feet.

A Three-Season Native That Earns Its Keep
Arrowwood viburnum has a long horticultural track record as a tough, adaptable native shrub. Blue Muffin earns its keep on three counts: pollinators work the late-spring flowers, songbirds feed on the blue berries in late summer and fall, and the foliage finishes the year in red to reddish-purple. It is widely regarded as deer-resistant, though hungry deer in a hard winter may sample almost anything.
It’s a good pick for a low informal hedge, a foundation planting that won’t outgrow the front of the house, or a single accent at the edge of a perennial bed. Plant it in groups of three or five for the strongest hedge effect, or one on its own to anchor a corner.
Quick Tip: Plant Two for Better Berries
Blue Muffin sets a much heavier crop of berries when a different Viburnum dentatum selection is planted nearby for cross-pollination — that’s a note straight from the breeder. We carry Autumn Jazz Viburnum in the yard, another arrowwood that pairs well with Blue Muffin (Autumn Jazz is the larger of the two, around 8–9 feet, so plan for the size difference). The two cultivars need to bloom at the same time for pollinators to do the work, so timing matters. One Blue Muffin on its own will still flower and set some fruit, but a compatible pair gives you the full blue berry display.
Water deeply once a week through the first summer to get the roots established. After that, Blue Muffin handles average garden conditions without fuss. A spring layer of mulch and a light pruning every few years are all it asks for.
Stop By This June
Stop in this June while the selection is fresh. Blue Muffin moves quickly in our yard, especially once people see the berries starting to color up. Our crew can walk you through placement, talk through pairing it for cross-pollination, and help you load it into the car. While you’re here, the perennials are looking sharp and the rest of the shrub yard is at its early-summer best.

May is when the nursery hits full stride. Mother’s Day weekend kicks off planting season here in Southeast Wisconsin, and the yard is filling out fast with hanging baskets, fresh perennials, and the first real run of color in months.

Why a Fountain Belongs in a Wisconsin Garden
There’s something about moving water that changes how a garden feels. A fountain pulls attention into a quiet corner. It softens road noise. It invites birds in for a drink and a quick wash. On a hot July afternoon, the sound alone makes the patio feel a few degrees cooler.
The 50% sale is also a friendly nudge for anyone weighing a Mother’s Day gift that lasts longer than cut flowers. A fountainette on a patio table or a small tiered piece by the porch becomes part of the landscape for years.
Quick Tip: Pick a Spot Where You’ll Hear It
The best place for a fountain is near a deck, patio, kitchen window, or wherever you spend time outdoors. The sound is the whole point. Tucked behind a hedge or off in a far corner, a fountain just becomes a piece of yard art. A flat, level surface within reach of a standard outdoor outlet is all you need. Most pumps draw very little power and run all day without notice.
Heading into winter, drain the basin, disconnect the pump, and either bring smaller pieces inside or cover them. Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles are hard on standing water and ceramic, but a little prep keeps a good fountain going for years.
Stop By This May
Stop in this May while the selection is at its best. Once a piece sells, it’s gone, and the standout designs tend to walk out the door first. Our crew can help you think through size, placement, and what’ll work in your space. We’re happy to help you load it up too.

Gardening in September: Tips for Southeastern Wisconsin
September is one of the best times to invest in your landscape. Here are a few ways to take advantage of the season:
1. Plant for Strong Roots
Shrubs and perennials planted now have time to establish roots before winter. This head start leads to healthier, more resilient plants next spring.
2. Divide and Transplant Perennials
If your hostas, daylilies, or irises have grown too large, divide them now. This rejuvenates the plants and gives you more to enjoy in other parts of your garden.
3. Care for Your Lawn
Fall is the best season to overseed thin spots and apply a slow-release fertilizer. Cooler weather encourages strong root development, which means a lush green lawn come spring.
4. Refresh Containers and Beds
Swap out tired summer annuals with fall favorites like chrysanthemums, ornamental kale, and asters for a burst of seasonal color.
5. Plan Ahead for Spring Bulbs
September is the time to shop for tulips, daffodils, and crocus bulbs. Plant them in October for a dazzling spring display.
Shop In-Store and Online
Our September specials are available in-store only. Visit us this month to take advantage of these savings and let our team help you with fall planting and decorating.
