Long farm tables set for dinner in the wildflower prairie at Callaway Fields
Community

Dinner in the Prairie — Saturday, September 12

An evening where nature sets the table. Long tables are set right on the trails of our three-acre prairie, surrounded by wildflowers, with live classical musicians playing from within the grasses. Shop the gardens and greenhouses from 3:00–5:00 PM at 25% off, then a welcome Apple Cider Mule at 5:00 PM with appetizers, dinner at 6:00 PM, and dessert by the barn firepit at sunset. Choose hand-cut beef tenderloin with garlic herb butter or herb-marinated chicken breast, with apple harvest salad, steakhouse mashed potatoes, roasted carrots and green beans, and apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. $85 per guest. Cash bar available. Prairie-casual attire — comfortable shoes for the trails. If the weather turns, dinner moves into the barn.

Our latest tree count is up on the Trees in Stock page — species, container size, quantity and price. Trees move quickly, so call before you make the drive if you're after something specific.

Plant care

Reminder: new plantings need water into the fall

Anything planted this year still needs a deep soak every week or so until the ground freezes — slow water at the base, not a sprinkler. It's the single biggest reason a new tree makes it or doesn't.

Fall is the best tree-planting window of the year

Cool air, warm soil, and fall rain mean a tree spends the whole winter putting down roots instead of holding leaves. If you've been putting off a shade tree, this is the season to do it. Come walk the tree rows and we'll help you load it.

Porch pots and seasonal containers — call to get on the list

Bring us your containers or buy them here. We plant them for the season and you pick them up ready to set out. Commercial accounts welcome. Call the Greenhouse to talk through colors and timing.

The greenhouse is open for walking

You don't need an appointment and you don't have to buy anything. Come look at mature sizes, take pictures, ask questions. We'd rather you see a tree in person than pick one off a screen.

Come see it in person

Everything here is easier to talk about standing in front of the plant.
