The event is free and open to the public.

I was so excited when I visited your store on Voss. I am a Science Educator and have a passion for plants . Since I was a kid it has been a love that I shared with my grandmother. The first plant that my grandmother bought me was a bird of paradise plant. I was 5 years old. I went on to work in nurseries in Louisiana putting myself through college. I loved working in the conservatory on Jefferson Island, Louisiana . So many years later the passion is still within me. The bird of paradise plant has been divided and shared with family and friends and it is the one plant on my highrise balcony that weathered the hard freeze weeks ago. I love your nursery and all the sales people who make me feel like family.. and that in itself gives me great joy.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We strive to hire enthusiastic caring employees who will help educate gardeners.
I read in Calloway’s Annual Guide , that April 3rd is “Perennial Swap Day” at selected stores. I would very much like the Hulen Street Store to participate so that I can swap out some begonia’s, narissis, and pothos ivy, all that have just been potted and ready to swap out for something you have to swap.

2 weeks ago, pesticide was used to treat fire ants on 4 spots (mounds) in our 12′ x 14′ garden. Can we go ahead with tilling & planting? Should something else be done first? thank you, for any suggestions

Beth, you should be OK, but just realize that you’ve probably only encouraged them to move somewhere else. And that by treating these mounds there is no guarantee that they won’t just make more mounds elsewhere in your garden.
The Dairy Ashford Store is such a joy to visit. This store has been there for the longest time and my late Mother used to love shopping at this Cornelius location. I go there and revisit my Mom’s favorite plants. THANK YOU for keeping this store heritage Cornelius!
I’m building a special garden in my Mom’s memory and you are a big part of that!
When is the next perennial swap?

Hi Karen, We have not scheduled the swap for 2011, but we will announce it to our Garden Club, so be sure you are signed up to receive our emails here https://mytexasgarden.com/signup.aspx.
Has a date been set for a Fall plant swap? If so, when is it?
Thanks!

Hi GK, We were unable to hold a fall plant swap, but plan to have swaps again in 2011. Please check back when the date has been determined.
I have a double purple Rose of Sharon bush that is approximately six years old. It’s in the way of a future outdoor fireplace. Can it possibly be moved? What are the chances of survival?

Hi Lisa. Yes, it can be moved successfully, but the best time for this would be during its dormant period in Winter. If you decide to do this, dig the new planting area before moving the plant. Dig a large enough area around the plant so that you can remove as much of the root system as you can and still lift the plant. Once lifted from the ground, place it in a container or onto some burlap or other conveyance for moving. Move it carefully to the new site and avoid disturbing the root ball. Remove the container or fabric, place the plant in its new location so that the previous root ball is about 2-3 inches above the surrounding soil level, fill back with the soil that was removed from the new planting location and mound around the top of the root ball. Firm around the root ball to remove air pockets, mulch on top to prevent erosion and water it in. Once you see new growth emerging next Spring, you can feed it with a blooming plant fertilizer or a Hibiscus fertilizer.
Do I need to print off and show the email to the employees to get the special prices quoted in the Garden Club newsletter?

Hi Shay,
No, you do not need to print special Garden Club Member pricing, you only need to print coupons.
When is the best time to plant colorful fall flowers?
Pansies and other Fall and Winter annuals can be planted now since it has cooled off. Pansies are great for sunny areas and for shady areas you can plant Cyclamen. For parties or quick color, Garden Mums are great for sunny areas.
Are there any upcoming events/clinics in november and/or December at the Calloway’s in Southlake? I see you have a Christmas event in Houston. Thank you.

Thanks Kster, we appreciate your kind words!
I wish there were a store participating in the plant swap closer to where I live (Lewisville/Flower Mound) as Plano is too far for me.

Hi Cindy, thank you for your comment. We try to choose central locations so that more customers are able to make the drive. We also rotate which location each year, we will keep Lewisville and Flower Mound in mind for next year. Sincerely, Kara
Ty at Calloway’s Flower Mound & his staff are THE BEST…they are so kind & helpful in every way!! I am a familiar face to them now & I go out of my way to purchase all my gardening needs from this location because of them.
Thank you & keep up the good work!!!
PS: I wish you carried more Texas Native Plants!!!!

Hi Gail, the Perennial Swap will be at 1000 Preston Rd Plano location on April 2, 2011. We hope to see you there.
Have you thought about organizing a Florist course. That is something lacking in the Dallas area. Have checked everywhere. Would love to study the art of floral arrangement.

Hi Valerie, Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider that for the future.
When will you be opening a link for the plant swap for a specific location. I am sitting here looking out at my garden trying to picture what I might need to fit a specific spot. Spring Fever is starting to take hold. Jane
This is only 2 weeks away I guess their not going to do a new link
I will be bringing some purple aster, I have a bunch of goldenrod if anybody wants some of it. A bunch of my stuff got hit by the ice and snow this year ,not sure its coming back, may have some white yarrow.

I really like your fabulous site! You really should get part in a tournament for one of the ideal blog sites on the web.
Are you going to publish some more about it?
If you have time you should check out my blog.
Many thanks for blogging this. I have been looking for it awhile right now.
