The greenhouses are fired up and we've started planting for spring 2011. The sweet smell of soil and plants gives us a breath of spring.The dirt is back under the fingernails again and it feels great. The cuttings just arrived and everyone has been busy planting up geraniums, petunias, portulaca, lobelias and calibrachoas the last few days. There's lots of new and interesting varieties for 2011.
For those of you itching to get your hands in the dirt we'll be holding our ever popular Victorian Hanging Basket Workshops starting in March.
WORKSHOPS
Get inside and out of the cold this March with our annual Victorian Workshop series. A fun way to be creative while getting your hands dirty!
Spend the afternoon in our warm greenhouse learning the fundamentals of designing and planting your own gorgeous Victorian Hanging Basket with our resident design guru Liz Gemmell.
We'll take care of your creation here at the greenhouse until May.
Great fun afternoon out with friends! Book early for groups!
