Individuals 
E are sure that plants are individuals with distinct individualities. Some 
of these individuals can be transplanted much more readily than others 
of the Same species. Some respond differently to the same environment. It is 
our privilege and our joy to study the reaction of many plants to various 
changes and to help individual plants as well as groups of plants gain strength 
and vigor. We like to feel that these plants which we have assisted nature 
in raising are finding a new home where they will be happy and well cared 
for. Therefore, we ask you keep them thoroughly watered during the hot dry 
spells in summer and to “send your evergreens into the winter wet.’’ Keep 
your wildgarden free of undesirable weeds, thistles, ragweed, nettles, poison 
ivy and Japanese honeysuckle, which are a few of your serious menaces. Do 
not pile heaps of leaves on your wildgarden in the fall. Do not remove the 
natural fall of leaves from the wildgarden in the spring. Remember even the 
tiniest plant is used to coming up through natural leaf fall when it wakes up 
in the spring. It needs those leaves for mulch and later on for food. Do not 
cultivate your wildgarden. The roots are delicate and generally close to the 
surface and are easily disturbed. 
Vick’s Wildgardens offer you a complete service planning and planting, 
pool or lake construction, tree surgery, pruning, feeding, spraying or dusting.
