The countdown to Spring is on, and it is quite exciting! It is a balmy 27 degrees as I write this, in the greenhouse of course :-) but the sun is shining and the plants are coming on strong. Ever wonder what your big Geranium baskets or Boston Ferns look like when they are just babies? Now is the time to take a peek. Stop by Family Flowers anytime to see how things are coming along - everything is grown right here from start to finish, so not only does it make for a healthier end product, but you can watch the progress too. You can also check up on things through our facebook page - there are always pictorial updates!
We are coming up to March Break which means some quality family time for a lot of us. Read on for a great kid friendly idea and a free place to visit...

Venus Fly Traps One of the most popular plants during Kids Week is, of course, the Venus Fly Trap!
The look on the children's faces when we 'tickle' the little hairs on the leaves with a pencil and all of a sudden...
it SNAPS shut... trying to grab the pencil!
Venus Fly Traps are available for $5.99 - including a humidome case used to catch excess water and create a humid environment.
