Come with me and you'll see

A world of color and beauty 
(was someone saying "a world of imagination" as the song of Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory would go??)

On this quiet evening, it was the perfect moment to take some nice pictures.
The days have sure been busy and many people are getting ready for their gardens.

So let us show you what we have to offer:
A fuchsia always reminds me of a ruffled skirt.  
They are just so beautiful !
A sunny colorful combination with million bells.  Great for a sunny location.
Yes, I climbed the ladder again.  
How else can I see what's on top of us.

And in between all the other baskets, the big town baskets are quietly growing.
Begonias like a sunny spot, BUT not the hot sun,  Best is to hang them a little bit more protected from the heat.  Great summer bloomers.
Any one fancy green hair?  No, this is green twist bamboo.  A unique addition to your garden.
Sorry, I did not dare to go higher and i got stuck in the metal arbor (don't know how i could have missed this one)
We have grown many hang baskets this season and hopefully they all get to go to a new home.

Next week, many of you will receive a flyer from us in the mail.
We are trying something new.

We are setting up the last Artisan Spring Market on May 23.
Lots of vendors will be showing you what they have to offer.

And Saturday is THE DAY of fresh veggies and freshly baked artisan breads.  Perfect for the bbq suppers and camping trips.

As my day is coming to an end, (I smell freshly made coffee in the kitchen) we would like to thank you all for your support !

Our greenhouse is a working progress and we very much appreciate your patience and understanding for things that are not all quite there yet.
(but we will work on it for next year !!)

Thank you for following our blog.
Till next time again!

Could there be a White Mother's day in the near future?

As we have been preparing our garden center for this coming weekend, a scary thought did come up after hearing the forecast. 
So while the cold wind is blowing crazily outside, lets warm you up with some springy pictures.

Hanging baskets are up and have started growing and showing lots of colors.
The colors for the communities in bloom this season are yellow and blue.
Two welcoming moose in a greenhouse can certainly make the talk of the day.
We will have lots of different basket stuffers that you can use for planting baskets and flower beds

This spring season you will have The Cozy Nook to sit in, have a cup of coffee and relax.
(just remember we close at 9 pm, then you'll have to go home)
A lot of our pretty petals garden club members will have received the invitation to the Artisan Mother's day market on may 9.  
Lots of vendors will be there and students from the Barrhead high school will be doing facepainting.  

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOMS OUT THERE.

Thank you for following our blog.
Till next time !
