Trees sold are geared towards NL growing zone 5 or 5B - restricts variety but increases the chance of success. Zone trees (less than 5) do well too; our experience has helped us tweak our selection for harsh climates. The first year is the most important in terms of customer care and intervention - after that, they are self sufficient.
When planted, trees MUST be staked - if root ball moves - the tree will not root properly. Trees are a large investment but some live 50 to 100 years - a smart investment for increased real estate value. The larger the home - the larger trees required to maintain scale - large trees can overtake a small property.

The Siberian Cypress makes a fantastic ground cover. It's dense, vigorous, low growing, spreading 2 metres in diameter - a variety that's bright green in Summer and turns coppery in Fall. It's very, very hardy and I have several planted. Shrubs are "the best bang for your buck" as they are fairly inexpensive and have a long grow life.
Pay attention to the plant tags - they give accurate info on shade/sun, height, color, size and spacing requirements - so not to end up with an over crowded garden in five years. BE PATIENT! Do proper spacing - cover open areas with mulch. Vines are the perfect answer to unsightly fences, decks or low lying buildings.
Annuals last only one season but bring immense colour and excitement to your garden for a very low cost. They come in all colours / varieties - are the least expensive plants and make a great starter project for beginners. Annuals can be planted in shady or sunny areas; some attract birds and butterflies; some repel insects.

Nice to have a local greenhouse but the selection of flowers and veggie starter plants is very limited. The prices are really high as well, compared to other years (please don't blame covid; it's getting old. I've heard they ship in their plants...which is weird...I like to shop locally but not at Hickeys if other nurseries are growing their own plants locally and Hickey's is not.

This is by far the best place to buy plants and shrubs for your garden. The staff are quite knowledgeable about both the plants and fertilizers they sell. Their plants are very healthy, and maintained while in their care, and hearty enough for the Newfoundland climate. There also happens to be a skilled florist on staff as well as many decorations and furniture that any garden nut would love for a gift. The prices are average for their trees and shrubs, and they cannot be beaten on the price for annuals, vegetables, and perennial flowers. This is always the first place I stop every season.
