Greetings!

Happy Summer!  It is the time of year when we can enjoy our yards + gardens and reap the benefits of all the hard work done in the spring.  Other than the odd weeding, watering and fertilizing - we can shuffle into relax mode. 
Author Sam Keen said it best:
"Deep summer is when laziness
finds respectability."
And the forecast looks like blue skies for the weekend ahead...  
The Family Flowers Mini Farm is growing!
Two newborn baby goats (born Saturday), a baby donkey (born May 14th) and a baby miniature horse (born June 15th) are the latest aNewborn baby goat and mamadditions to Family Flowers Mini Farm!  Stop by to visit the animals and enter your name ideas on Family Flowers Facebook Page. 
Can't make it in today to see the animals - well here is the next best thing: click here for pictures
  
Family Flowers Mini Farm is open all year round and is FREE for anyone to visit.  There are feed machines that accept quarters if you are interested in feeding the animals, and be sure to use the hand sanitizer when you are finished.
Bring the kids, or a neighbour, or a grandparent - you are all welcome!

Family Flowers Feature

 

Sometimes stepping into a  Garden Centre can be a little overwhelming - especially during outdoor planting season!  At Family Flowers we have simplified the process for you: Each aisle is organized by colour!  It takes a little more work and organization on our part, but makes a world of difference for you, the customer.  You can leisurely come in and browse the colour aisles, or go directly to the colour you are looking for, without needing to know specifically what plants you want.
I hope you enjoy the weather and take a well deserved summer break - and if you are looking for something to do, come on out for a visit to the Mini Farm.
The greenhouses are full of summer sale items and new fall plantables will be out soon.  It is also a great time to top up on perennials and hostas - Buy 1 Get 1 FREE!
  
Hope to see you soon (and some pictures of your gardens at Family Flowers facebook page).
  
Sincerely,
