Spotlight on: G&B Acid Planting Mix
G&B’s Acid Planting Mix is one of our most popular soil mixes for many, many reasons. Here in the Treasure Valley, our soils are almost always on the alkaline side, meaning our pH is around 7.5. The ideal growing pH varies among plant species, but generally for most garden variety species (non-native), it tends to run between a pH of 6-7, or slightly acidic to neutral, plants like blueberries do best in a soil of 4.5-5 pH. This is where the G&B’s Acid Planting mix comes in handy, you can use it alone in pots or mix it with our native soil to help those acid lovers thrive!
G&B Acid Planting Mix is made especially for acid-loving, shade-dwelling plants.
- Organic acid planting mix from premium ingredients
- Great for azaleas, camellias, rhododendrons, gardenias, hydrangeas, citrus, blueberries, conifers, ferns, dogwoods & maples

Christmas Tree Pre-Sale!
A Christmas Tradition with NEON
The look and smell of a genuine real Christmas Tree cannot be matched. They are a sustainable and environmentally responsible choice as well. Tree farms create oxygen, filter air, retain topsoil, provide habitat for animals, domestic farm jobs, and so much more.
Fake trees are almost exclusively produced overseas, and contain uncountable amounts of out-gassing toxins. They are not recyclable, and add nothing to the earth as they are made.
Prices are up nationally for real Northwest Christmas Trees, but we have secured a limited number, and are doing our best to keep prices affordable.
In order to keep the price to our customers reasonable, we will still offer our pre-sale, with a 10% discount on all trees purchased before November 1st.
This is a great way to get a tree this year at near to last year’s prices, while still supporting and shopping local/ domestic.
