A Beautiful Site

What a gorgeous day yesterday was. The sun was shinning and and even though the wind was alittle chilly, inside our Marketplace it looked like spring. Easter plants are arriving and what beauties they are.

The Hydrangea, Mums and Tulips (above) are fantastic, as well as many, many other plants.

The Easter Lilies (pictured below) are just starting to open. I can already imagine their wonderful fragrance in my home.

Stop in and see us...these plants are easy to care for and give you that early color you desire.

A Breath of Spring

Just a couple of weeks ago, I was noticing that I hadn't seen the usual abundance of Snowdrops emerging from their winter slumber. Always the first flower I notice, I became a custom to seeing the first blooms by early March. Mine were still covered in snow and the snow apparently had just melted off the other areas too. But to my glorious surprise, I had pansies in another garden in full bloom! Very Cool!

Our greenhouses are just emerging with that same colorful eunthusiasm. Perennials and hanging baskets are potted and growing. The sunlight last week was a wonderful blessing, for both the plants and our souls. We need out of the winter greys. These are a few of the sights in our greenhouses from last week.

Easter is right around the corner. Plants should be here today and we'll post pics tomorrow.

Grow Time

If you go by a calender, Spring is still over 2 weeks away. But our greenhuses are showing spring life already. Some annuals have already arrived in plug form and we are preparing to transplant them, so that they are ready for you in May.

We also recieved our first shipment of Perennial Plugs today. We will grow these beauties with tender loving care and will be ready to make your landscapes 'fantastic' this spring & summer.

Spring is coming....it always does. We will help you Color Your World.

This was one of my personal favorites. It is pink inside with a pale orangish outside. Beautiful color and great flowering.
