The elves have been busy here at Gemmell's!

We are just putting the finishing touches our decorating for the Holiday Season. There are all kinds of wonderful new giftware and holiday accents for both indoors and out. If you don't want to fight the crowds at the mall (Has anyone noticed that the entire parking lot at Bayshore has disappeared?) then take some time to wander through the garden centre this season. We have tons of great gift ideas for everyone on your list; beautiful fairies, funky shopping bags, brand new wall art, carousel lanterns (the reindeer or snowflakes spin like a carousel from the heat of a tea light). You can enjoy a hot cup of coffee or cider, and enjoy the smell of the evergreen boughs while you browse and get inspired.

 

Winter greens, pine cones, dogwood have all arrived!

 

The workshops are starting to fill up fast so if you are thinking about coming then I would sign up soon.
 

Finally, just a note of thanks the Athens Horticultural Society and Jean Brassington for inviting me to speak on "Inspiring Shrubs" and "New for 2013" last month. I speak to hundreds of gardeners every season about horticulture but it's a bit daunting to present in front of a large group of seasoned gardeners! Suzette ( my technical and moral support) and I had a wonderful time.

 

Hope to see you soon,
