Laurel Bay’s new storefront, Oregon Coast Pottery, will feature the newest in outdoor and indoor pottery for your home and garden. “We’ve expanded our nursery to add both classic and vibrant colors and shaped pottery for our customers to choose from,” says Lisa Walter-Sedlacek, landscape designer at Laurel Bay Gardens. “We will feature plantings with the latest in colorful arrangements-for sunny or shady patios-designed by our talented floral design staff at the nursery.” Laurel Bay Gardens will be outdoors again this year to welcome visitors into the 2016 Home and Garden Show. C Lisa & David Sedlacek “Outside, we will feature “upcycling,” demonstrating how you can use wooden pal- lets as planters for your yard,” says “Bamboo Dave” Sedlacek of Laurel Bay Gardens. “You can grow vegetables, flowers, even herbs in these planters. Their rustic look enhances any garden decor.” Laurel Bay’s outdoor exhibit will also feature some of the new plants for landscaping, along with more than 50 vari- eties of rhododendrons and azaleas, perfect for adding spring color to your yard. “Don’t forget to check out our featured line of custom- blended organic soils and amendments, as well as bagged products from Gardner and Bloome, all available for great Home Show prices,” adds Dave. “And be sure to stop by the booth to sign up to win a $25 gift certificate,” adds Lisa. “There will be a drawing each of the three days of the Home and Garden Show. “Come stop by to say hello and share your gardening questions and stories with our help- ful, friendly experts.” 26 years & growing Laurel Bay Gardens is Florence’s award-win- ning full-service commercial and residential landscaping company for the past 26 years. They offer a nursery, irrigation system installa- tion and service; patios, walkways and retaining walls; bulk sales of rock, bark, soils, and com- post; and a gift shop with an ever-changing selection of seasonal home and yard décor. “We know what grows,” says Walter- Sedlacek. “One size does not fit all in this area. We don’t offer cookie-cutter ideas to clients. We don’t just stick a plant in the sand and hope it grows. We invest heavily in continuous educa- tion for our staff and management for the bene- fit of our customers.” Laurel Bay Gardens’ staff counsels their cus- tomers on what kinds of plants work in which environments, not just in the coastal Oregon cli- mate, but on which side of the client’s house, in proximity to existing plants, and in what combi- nation of soils and moisture that may occur nat- urally at the customer’s site. In fact, Walter-Sedlacek has worked with suppliers to develop their signature soil blend “Royal Soil,” custom-formulated to Florence- area bio systems.
