End of Season at Whitehouse
The gardens will remain open until September 26th 2021. Please follow us on Facebook or Instagram for information on our end of season sales. We will be starting to dig peonies the week of Sept 13. We will be contacting anyone who has placed an order for peonies when the order is ready for pickup. The fall is a great time to plant because the days are cooling down while the soil is still warm enough to encourage good root growth. Take advantage of great savings and get a head start on next spring.
