There are still a couple more months of garden time in Buffalo, and Urban Roots can help you recharge so your fall garden is as fresh as your spring and summer were.  Already we have a good selection of mums in 2 sizes, four kinds of perennial asters for fall color now and for years to come, and other perennials and shrubs chosen for late summer and fall bloom and foliage color.
