Good Afternoon Great-Gardeners,
Thanksgiving is a time where we sit down with family and celebrate and give thanks for all that we have. We may not have you sitting at our Thanksgiving table, but we do give thanks for you and everyone in our community.
From all of us at Wilson's Garden Center may you have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
“May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!”
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, hit reply. I would love to hear from you. As always, have a great-gardening day.
Sincerely,
Holly
P.S. Wilson's will be closed Thanksgiving Day, to spend time with our families. We will resume normal hours on Friday.
P.S.S. Don't forget to shop small, Saturday, November 26th.

Calathea
A bold and beautiful house plant known for it's gorgeous foliage, is also known as Peacock or Rattlesnake Plant because of it's unusual markings.
Calathea symbolizes new beginnings and is often given as a gift for those who are starting a new job or moving.
Just like any house plant, it helps to purify the air in your home. They work well in bathrooms because of the high humidity.
Care:
Light: Bright, indirect light
Water: Calathea Plants like moist but not soggy soil at all times, but never allow a to sit in water. Allow the top 2-3” of the soil in the pot to dry out before watering.
Temperature: Prefer temperatures between 65-80 degrees, and don't do well in cold drafts or temperatures below 55-60 degrees.
Humidity: Need high humidity. When air is too dry it will get brown leaf edges.
