If you're considering giving Impatiens for Mother's Day, consider what those plants could be suffering from.
Mahoney's Garden Center submitted the press release below. One of the most popular annuals to plant each spring is Impatiens. For many, it’s a tradition to give a basket of Impatiens as a Mother’s Day gift, while for others it is the easiest way to enjoy color in their gardens all summer – even in the shade. However, this year, Impatiens are in danger of a nationwide blight called downy mildew that can destroy these beautiful flowers. Signs of this disease surfaced in 2004, and by last year it began to develop into a widespread catastrophe for gardeners and Impatiens growers alike. “Our number one question last year from customers was ‘What’s wrong with my Impatiens?’” says Mike Mahoney of Mahoney’s Garden Centers. “We had to tell a lot of…

Mahoney's Garden Center said Trees for Troops is already a popular with customers this season.
A lot of focus is paid to the gifts under the tree this time of year, but what if there isn't a tree at all? For some military families, that is exactly the situation in which they find themselves at Christmas. Mahoney's Garden Center, along with about 40 other retail establishments around the country, participates in Trees for Troops in an effort to provide trees for those families. "A lot of people are glad we do it," said Mahoney's spokesman Gary Merrill. "It kind of goes with the holidays. I feel good about selling them [donated trees] to people." Trees for Troops works with FedEx to deliver the donated trees to military families around the world. When a customer comes into Mahoney's, they pay $24.50 to purchase a Trees for Troops tree…

Program is designed to get Christmas trees to military families.
The Christmas season with all it's decking of the halls, putting gifts under the tree and hanging of ornaments will be in full force in a matter of weeks.
