Petree Nursery Discounts
Savings on plants and herbs at Petree Nursery as we roll to the end of the 2010 season. Petree Nursery is offering a bunch of specials on remaining plants and herbs to clear them out before they close up for fall. This week there are discounts on herbs – prices vary but I bought two large basil plants and a tarragon and it came to about $14 for the lot including tax. The basil plants will hopefully see me through winter cooking, although if you just used them to make and freeze big batches of pesto you’d save on the equivalent price of basil in the supermarkets.
They also have huge rosemary plants – effectively rosemary bushes, several feet high – that with this week’s discounts work out to around $39. You need to keep these rosemary plants in their pots indoors over winter (I’m advised) so it’s best if you’ve got some floor space – they’re big brutes. But if you do have space, they’re gorgeous, fragrant, and a snip of rosemary is excellent to have on hand for winter roasts and veggies. Sorry I’m all about winter today when we’re still sweating through summer, but plan ahead and you’ll save dollars in the long run!
Special offers at Petree Nursery will change each week and according to remaining supplies. Check them out on Petree Lane off Blueberry Hill, toward the south end. The turning is well-marked on the east side of the road.
