SEASONAL FAVORITES

What truly sets Cline’s Nursery apart is our knowledgeable team. Our staff is made up of experienced gardeners who love helping customers create beautiful, thriving landscapes. To make the most of their expertise, we encourage you to bring photos or videos of the area you’d like advice on. Since plant success depends so much on light, it’s also helpful to track the sun exposure—take notes on how much light the space receives in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. Photos alone can make it tricky to assess the size of a space, so bringing measurements with you will give our team the full picture. With these details, our staff can provide personalized guidance and help you choose the best plants for your space.

Healthy soil makes all the difference—and that’s why we trust Espoma Organics here at Cline’s Nursery. A fourth-generation, family-owned company, Espoma has been a pioneer in organic gardening since 1929. They specialize in creating natural and organic products that are safe, effective, and sustainable, helping gardeners grow healthier plants from the ground up.

Espoma’s well-known “Tone Family” of fertilizers began with their all-purpose Plant-tone and expanded to include Holly-tone for acid-loving plants, Garden-tone for vegetables and herbs, Rose-tone for roses, Bulb-tone for bulbs, plus blends for tomatoes, berries, orchids, and more. These slow-release formulas enrich the soil, prevent plant burn, and provide long-lasting nutrition. Beyond fertilizers, Espoma also offers premium potting soils made with natural ingredients like worm castings, kelp meal, and alfalfa meal—fortified with mycorrhizae to encourage strong roots and abundant blooms. Their liquid plant foods deliver fast-acting nutrition with kelp extracts, natural proteins, and beneficial microbes, while soil amendments like Organic Soil Acidifier make it easy to give hydrangeas and blueberries the acidic conditions they love.

Espoma is equally dedicated to sustainability. Their manufacturing facility in Millville, New Jersey, is powered by solar energy, they minimize waste in production, and even use plant-based resins in some of their packaging. When you choose Espoma Organics at Cline’s Nursery, you’re not just giving your plants the best start—you’re also supporting a greener, healthier way to garden.

When it comes to premium soils and plant foods, FoxFarm is a name trusted by gardeners who want top-notch performance.

Founded in California, FoxFarm has built its reputation on crafting soils, fertilizers, and liquid plant foods made from earth-friendly, natural ingredients. Their mixes are loaded with beneficial microbes and organic matter to promote strong root systems, vibrant foliage, and abundant blooms.

FoxFarm’s Ocean Forest® Potting Soil is one of the most popular all-in-one mixes, combining composted forest humus, fish and crab meal, earthworm castings, and more for a nutrient-rich base. Happy Frog® Potting Soil features added mycorrhizae and humic acid to boost root development and nutrient uptake. For feeding, FoxFarm’s liquid concentrates like Grow Big®, Big Bloom®, and Tiger Bloom® are trusted favorites for giving plants the extra nutrition they need throughout the growing cycle.

At Cline’s Nursery, we recommend Black Wonder 5000 when your lawn or garden needs a powerful boost of organic matter and nutrients. This premium soil conditioner is made from concentrated humic acid, a natural substance formed from the breakdown of ancient plant materials. Humic acid works like a sponge in the soil—helping it hold water, improve structure, and increase nutrient uptake for healthier, more resilient plants.

Black Wonder 5000 is especially effective for breaking up hard, compacted clay soils common in our area, making them lighter and easier for roots to grow through. It also enhances sandy soils by improving water retention. Gardeners and landscapers alike use it to create richer soil, encourage stronger root systems, and reduce plant stress in tough growing conditions. Safe, natural, and easy to use, Black Wonder 5000 is a smart choice for anyone looking to improve soil health and give their plants a stronger foundation to thrive.
