What's New
The week of January 28
Spring Colour Indoor greenhouses "Primulation"
Indoor plants has some fabulous baskets and arrangements to add that touch of spring colour to your winter. There are a variety of indoor greenhouses and lighted seeding trays available to help kick-start the season. As everyone starts to get antsy in the cold, these Polyanthus hybrids give us all a little hope for spring and remind us what we have to look forward to.
Mailorder! New ways of working The real work...
As the seeds arrive at the greenhouse the mailorder staff are gathering orders and beginning to ship them to our mailorder customers Another new piece of equipment this year will be this plug transplanter. It will automatically push the plugs through a seedling tray into a flat of six packs below--we are looking forward to seeing it do its stuff. With a limited greenhouse space and 6 months of planting ahead, the planning phase of the spring is most critical. Every square metre of space is allotted and a massive dance is choreographed to insure we have the right plants at the right time.

New technology Under Cover
Hanging baskets are watered by overhead hoses with drip lines. We are currently replacing the emitters in the front greenhouse. The new emitters will offer us better control over waterflow, ensuring baskets get the same amount of water. Bottom heat and a fabric cover will start the rooting process on these newly arrived Celebration New Guinea impatiens.
