Hermit Crab

April 9th 2013

 Okay the weather this Spring so far has truly been a test of our strength. What more can we poor gardeners endure? 

 

     We just received a beautiful shipment of tropicals last week which lifted our spirits here in the Greenhouse. Flowering Mandevillas, luscious Philodendrons, hardy Pothos, Ferns, Palms and more.

 

     Julia has been working hard in the Glass Greenhouse and it is looking beautiful. There is lots of gorgeous new garden decor this season.

 

     For all you anxious garden addicts who have been asking about the trees, shrubs and fruit, I am happy to announce that shipments will start arriving the middle of next week. Feel free to call us if you are looking to see if something specific has arrived. Shipments will continue to arrive through the end of April.

 

     I have listed our Spring Workshops Series in this email. I'd like to note that we require a deposit to reserve spaces. Although we don't particularly like doing this, many of our workshops fill up quickly with waiting lists and without a deposit some people in the past have chosen not to show up last minute leaving empty spaces we could have otherwise filled. So we do hope you understand.

 

Thanks as always for reading,

LOVE YOUR LAWN
Gardeners have been struggling with growing lush beautiful lawns since the Government passed a Pesticide Ban in 2009. Lawn seed companies for years were pushing high maintenance "golf course" seed mixes which are no longer viable in today's eco conscious world. Widespread grub infestation paired with hot dry summers make growing lawns a challenge for most homeowners. 

If you are looking to learn more about Lawns then.....
