The week beginning
August 27

Fall Colour? This late blooming gentian (Gentiana lagodechiana) in our show garen adds some gorgeous blue to the oncoming fall colours!

The Sweet smell... of this Loncicera periclymenum 'Belgica Select' is almost as stunning as its beautiful flowers.

Bulbs The first of the fall bulbs are in with many more to come over the next week or two..
More Colour... The fall mums are in full bloom in a variety of colours and sizes.
Indoors As the season changes there is a great selection of home decorating ideas and accessories available.
Spring is just around the corner... The staff is already hard at work preparing signs, researching plants and getting ready for spring 2002
Melons on Trial This trial of Fairie Queen musk melon is bearing fruit in the trial garden.
Orchids The staff have been hard at work creating some gorgeous plant combinations from our wide selection of pots and indoor plants; check out this cool moss-covered pot and a purple phalenopsis orchid.

Space The poinsettias have all been spaced, taking up all the available greenhouses. In order to grow the best plants possible we space our poinsettias at 2 times the industry standard.
Bearing Fruit As strange a season as we've had this year, the orchard has produced a pretty good crop of fruit. Shown clockwise Michener pears, Harcourt apples, Boughen Golden chokecherries and Brooks Red plums.
