🌿 It's Wreath Season at Boxhill Farm & Nursery! 🌿
Nothing changes a space like the rich, grounded texture of real foliage.
At Boxhill Farm & Nursery, we've crafted three standout wreaths from our plants — all grown and cut right here on the farm in Duvall. Each one is built by hand for lasting presence and quiet elegance.
🌿 All-Green 'Vardar Valley' Boxwood 🌿
A hardy Buxus sempervirens selection grown for deep color and tight texture. The leaves are a cool, matte green with a dense, structured habit — ideal for a formal look that still feels alive and natural. Cut from one of our oldest stock plants, this variety keeps its tone and shape longer than most evergreens, without additives or preservatives.
💛 Variegated Boxwood 💛
Made from Buxus sempervirens ‘Variegata’, a classic English boxwood known for its soft, gold-edged leaves and fine branching. The natural two-tone foliage catches light beautifully, creating a bright, elegant accent indoors or out. Its smaller leaves hold form for months, drying evenly as the season goes on.
🍂 Magnolia Blend
Built from Magnolia grandiflora foliage mixed with seasonal greens. The magnolia leaves have glossy green tops and velvety bronze undersides, giving each wreath movement and depth. As they dry, they curl slightly and reveal more of that copper tone, shifting from fresh and lush to warm and rustic through winter.

🍂 Fall Fertilizer Tips from Boxhill 🍂
Fall isn’t the time to feed everything—it’s about knowing which plants need that last boost and which should be left alone as they gear up for winter.
✅ Fertilize These in Fall
-
Fruit Trees – Give them energy now for a bigger, healthier crop next year.
-
Deciduous Trees & Shrubs – Once leaves drop, a fall feed helps them bank nutrients before the freeze.
-
Newly Planted Trees & Shrubs – They’re setting roots; fertilizer helps them get established.
-
Perennials – A light dose keeps them strong, but stop early before they try pushing new growth.
-
Spring-Flowering Bulbs – Fertilize when planting so you get stronger stems and bigger blooms come spring.
-
Acid Lovers (azaleas, rhodies, hydrangeas) – Use low-nitrogen fertilizer now to encourage bud set, not leafy growth.
🚫 Skip Fertilizer in Fall For
-
Evergreens – Most don’t need it now and can be damaged by late growth.
-
Roses – Save the food for early spring and after their first flush of blooms.
-
Annuals – They’re done for the season; feeding them now is just wasted product.
👉 Bottom line: focus your fertilizer where it counts—roots and next year’s blooms—not on plants headed for dormancy.


It's Time to Compost!

If you have space, then leaf mold (only leaves) is the most valuable compost. If not, be sure in a mixed compost to put in small sticks or balled up newspaper to create room for oxygen. If you have a very small garden, it's find to compost in place - keeping your leaves is important for the proper soil nutrition.
Home Projects
Is your garden missing some extra flair? Sometimes the smallest touches go a long way! This is a birdbath we reinforced with old ceramics and a little bit of concrete. While we had never done this before, it turned out beautifully and only took an hour!



Fall - Improve Your Garden
Fall is a wonderful time to look hard at your garden. Move plants, choose new thing to compliment the areas close to your entrance, the ones you see most in winter. If you have a blank spot in semi or full shade try a asplenium scolopendrium, either of the two pictured here. They form a small colony and look disarmingly like seaweed.
