Hedgehogs? Really?
~Stephanie Fleming
Two years ago we got a request from a customer in our Christmas Shop for hedgehog ornaments. I thought why not, and found two when I was buying for last Christmas. The customer came in and seemed happy and bought both! I just got back from Atlanta and the BIG America's Mart where retailers go to BUY BUY BUY for our customers. While looking over my orders for the 2014 year something jumped out at me! Hedgehogs. I apparently kept finding them everywhere and I kept ordering them. I asked one supplier what was up with all these cute little animals and she told me that they are HOT and everyone collects them!! So if you like these little guys, we will have a few this year. They will even be featured in our Fairy Gardens!

Hedgehogs were introduced to New Zealand. They are considered to be an invasive species there, but I came across one and he really was pretty cute ~ Larry Hurley

Phili bus trip A Whole New Experience - Where Art Meets Horticulture

To register for this trip, Click Here

For the first time, the nation's first, largest and most beautiful Flower Show will join with the country's most exciting art museums to create ARTiculture! 

Art and horticulture are part of a mutual admiration society that has been played out across centuries by the Masters, both gardeners and artists. Whether in a Wyeth landscape or a sweeping vista of bulbs blooming in colorful combinations, inspiration flows from both worlds to create a masterpiece on canvas and on the land.

This year's Flower Show celebrates and joins together these highly regarded museums with some of the nation's finest landscape and floral designers to create a living canvas in ARTiculture.
