Get Planting Now for your own orchard

If you couldn’t tell, we love the fall season! Not only is it finally cool enough to enjoy the weather in Nevada, but it’s the best time of year to plant new trees and shrubs in your yard. Some of the best trees we love planting right now are fruit trees. These trees can grow beautiful fragrant flowers, create great summer shade, and bring you tasty fruit right in your yard!

The fall season is here, even if the Nevada weather is still trying to figure that out! It's getting cooler, pumpkin spice is taking over, and nature is slowly turning lush in color! Many of our trees at Moon Valley Nurseries have the stunning fall reds, purples, yellows, and oranges that we have come to love this time of year. Not only is this the best time to add some fall color to your yard but the cooler weather is an excellent time to plant (for you and your plants!).

tips for Lawn Care and Plant Care 

The weather is just starting to cool down, that means it is now time to start taking care of your yard. The hot summer may have beaten your yard up a bit, so it needs to be brought back to good health and ready for the autumn weather! October is one of the best times of the year to rebuild a landscape or start a new project (or finish the one you started last spring!). Fall is also the best time of year to plant any trees, shrubs, and other plants you’ve had your eye on to improve your yard.

The Las Vegas area is finally getting cooler days and even cooler evenings. This is a welcomed relief from the blistering summertime heat, and relief for any home owner who has been avoiding the sun for months! While we can start to enjoy being outside more and working on our yard, the soil is still warm and will hold onto the heat for a while. This makes for a perfect environment to transplant any plants or trees and get maximum root growth potential and prepping it for long term success.

Watering Tips

The fall season is the best time to start planning any new additions you have been wanting to put into your landscape. The weather is perfect and gives you enough time for any transplants to be ready for next year.

A great landscape can be taken to another level and can benefit from having some color thrown into it. An accent plant (or two or three!) will get the attention of anybody who sets their eyes on it. If you choose the right plant or tree, you might even catch the attention of some pollen and nectar-loving insects that will be happy to enjoy your yard with you!

Plant and Tree Care

The growing season is upon us! We are finally starting to come out of the hot summer weather and into cooler fall weather.

With the changing of the season, there are a few things we need to remember so that our landscapes and gardens can thrive. They are:

Want to add a stunning focal point to your landscape? Or, perhaps, you want to bring a little bit of that tropical vacation feeling to your home.

Which is good since we have so much of it! At Moon Valley Nurseries, we custom grow our palms to thrive in our local Nevada area – meaning they are the best you can find. Below are our top five palms that are perfect for any landscapes.
