The week beginning
June 11

Indoors...

We have some gorgeous Caladium in the indoor plants glass house as well as these unique new Stone Garden plant stands.

 

Variegated Grass?

At over 2m tall, this Miscanthus sinensis 'Cosmopolitan' isn't your typical grass.

 

 Bigger is...

...sometimes better. If you are getting a late start on the season, these super jumbo handlepacks can provide you with some instant colour like these Total Madness petunias.

 

 Behind the scenes...

As much as everyone wants to spend all their time in the greenhouse, quite often research takes precedence. Jim Hole spends a significant portion of his time investigating plant problems and researching new methods of plant production.

 

The lilies are out!

The Asiatic lilies are really showing their colours now.

 

 Lucky Bamboo

Also known as the Plant of Prosperity, these bamboo pyramids are rumoured to help keep you more refreshed and relaxed at work.

 

 Ruffles Roses

A new introduction this year, these Lovely Ruffles roses make a brilliant display in front of the nursery.

 

 The show garden...

...has a new introduction. The lilacs are blooming and make a great frame for the sculptures of Michéle Mitchell which are on display in the garden.

 

 On the road...

These geraniums and hanging baskets are destined for commercial customers in Calgary who believe its worth shipping the plants 450 km to get the quality they want.

 

 On trial...

The show garden is beginning to fill up with this year's crop of bedding plant trials featuring over 600 different trial varieties--including these new marigolds and snapdragons.
