Yes chef!

For those who watch all theses cooking shows, you know what I mean.

I do not want to say it too often, but have to admit that when I am helping at Elieneke's Bake Shop I am on unfamiliar territory and have to listen to instructions.

Which sometimes seems like pay-back time for all the times your kids had to listen to you being a parent.

Elieneke's Bake Shop is the newest addition to De Herdt Gardens.  In the very capable "baking" hands of our daughter Elien.
Today, on again a very snowy day, (it seems like these are the perfect days to blog) Elien is preparing for the Easter season. 
Chocolate Easter bunnies big, small, milk chocolate, white chocolate, so many to choose from.
And lets not forget the chocolate eggs filled with little jelly beans inside.  Brings back memories from many Easter egg hunts.

While all this is being done on one side of the building, we are preparing a fun workshop for April 8.

You will be using the chalk paint to give your plant box a beautiful color and afterwards antique it.  Following we will be planting the succulents while enjoying a cup of coffee/tea and a pastry provided by our own bake shop.
Cost per person $ 25.00
Registration and payment can be done at the store before April 5.

As always with the promise to keep blogging, I greet you.

Back sooner than expected.

Good morning to you all!
It is snowing outside so I thought to distract you from this by showing you some of the new items we will have this spring season.

West Coast Seeds
A company that offers organic and popular varieties.

SUPER NEW ARE MICRO GREENS!!!!

Livingston Seeds
This display will offer you heirloom varieties. 

And to get you really excited for spring, here is Koen with a beautiful petunia called Night Sky.
It is available to pre-order.  Just call the store 780-674-2844 and we will write it in the book.
(pre-orders will have to be pre-paid please)

So after this small sneak peak, I hope to leave you with a little bit of a spring feeling.

With the promise to keep blogging, I greet you!

It is time to get Blogging again!

Wow, when I looked at the last post we did, that is really a long time ago.
Time to get back on the Blogging wagon and tell you all about the new things we have been doing.

First thing to do:  Sprucing up the old blog by giving it a new look.
A fresh background with of course some flowers and my favorite color blue.

As many of you know, our daughter Elien has competed in some pretty big baking competitions last year.  So the idea of opening her own bake shop started in May of 2016.


We looked at several options, but actually the best one was to bring Elieneke's Bake Shop together with De Herdt Gardens so that we can serve our customers a real Belgian specialty.


After Elieneke's Bake Shop opened in November 2016, we wanted to redesign our store a little so we could open The Coffee Nook. 
A place where you can relax, enjoy the moment, meet with friends and even read a book.


So I will leave you today with these images of our new store and we look forward welcoming you at both De Herdt Gardens and Elieneke's Bake Shop.

With the promise of keeping the blogs coming, I greet you!
