Spring stirs something deep within us. The warming days and budding trees awaken a primal excitement—a call to the garden. But dedicated gardeners know that gardening is more than just the rush of spring planting. It is a continuous process, a rhythm of care and creativity that shapes our personal spaces in ways both physical and intangible.
Gardening is a methodical practice, a way to disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect with the earth beneath our feet. Our modern world is complicated, our minds constantly engaged. Yet, just minutes spent with hands in the soil can break the cycle of overthinking, offering a moment of clarity. This isn’t just sentiment—it’s science. Soil is teeming with life, including saprophytic bacteria that have co-evolved with us. These beneficial microbes stimulate serotonin production, offering natural anti-depressive, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting benefits. The ‘Prozac effect’ of gardening is real, and it’s one more reason to dig in.
At Bates Nursery, we understand the thrill of spring planting and the importance of doing it well. Gardening, like life, is a journey—not just about reaching a goal, but about embracing each step. The foundation of success starts with what you plant with. EarthMix® Garden Products are more than organic—they bringing a natural advantage to your plantings. EarthMix® Garden™ and Proganix-O™ are ready-to-use solutions available in bags, bulk, or SuperSaks; and contain native soil.
Then, there are the plants. Our ever-growing selection, is a horticultural candy store—Japanese maples, dwarf conifers (from Iseli and Monrovia), fruiting plants, native species, hellebores, hydrangeas, and cool-season crops. Now in our 93rd year, and celebrating the 50th anniversary of our garden center, we invite you to join the tradition.
Every Saturday morning, we’re live at 8 AM (or delayed broadcast, any time), we provide our shared experience on gardening: “Gardening Inside Out”. Listen to our Podcast anytime! Follow and contact us: Facebook. YouTube. Instagram.
Open Sundays beginning March 16th—come see what we’ve brought in for you!
