Want those big white hydrangea blooms in the spring? 🤍 Here’s your answer!

📢 Listen up, moms! There are no rules no limits and no bad plant purchases this week - treat. your. self. 🫶🏻 You deserve it!

What’s the deal with Mycorrhizae you ask? 🤔 Well it acts as a partner with nearly all land plant life, creating an underground living infrastructure. How cool?! This beneficial fungi binds together soil particles, prevents erosion, improves water retention, and allows trees and plants to share nutrients, minerals, and water. Thus - not only great for your new tree, but great for everything around it as well! 👍🏻👍🏻The best part? Every tree purchased at Bentley Ridge this year includes a complimentary bag!

🩷 If you’re thinking about a gift card for your mom/grandma/special lady in your life, take advantage of our Mother’s Day gift card bonus! Snag these extra savings now through May 10th! 💌

They sort of understood the assignment…🥴 but hey, a deal’s a deal. We will see you this weekend! p.s. don’t forget @vintageroadcoffeeco will be here on Saturday from 10am-12pm! ☕️

And number 1 is the most important 😉 But for real, if you don’t want the hassle - Dan the man and his planting crew will take care of everything for you! All you have to do is find your perfect tree. 🌳

We’ve had an absolute blast watching everyone create their own spring pots this year! 🌸 If these pictures are giving you FOMO, don’t worry! You can still sign up for our last workshop on Thursday, April 30th at 5pm! 👉 https://tixfox.co/e/718QDmyNV3

We love to celebrate our community here in Grimes! This year on Arbor Day we got the opportunity to donate and plant this Redmond Linden tree at Autumn Park. We are hopeful that it will bring some beauty and shade for those visiting the park for years to come! 💚🌳 P.s. this is a great example of what a mulch donut looks like - not a mulch volcano! 🍩

Happy Arbor Day! 🌳 Trees are kind of a big deal around here. So far in 2026, we’ve sold nearly 3,000 trees and planted close to 1,000! 🤩 👉 If you are planning to plant a tree, here are 3 common mistakes to avoid. 💚 Remember: the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.
