September 10

Perennials on Sale Ther is still a nice selection of perennials on sale, many of them in full bloom like these Asters, Spike Speedwell and Phlox.

Fall Cleanup Fall cleanup at Hole's takes a lot of forms. Tables are stacked and stored with planting machinery in unused cold frames. Statuary is packed up, ready for storage and many of the planters are replanted with fall mums, pansies and other frost-tolerant plants.
Grass... Even though the season is winding down, don't forget about some fall fertilizer for your lawn.
Big and small Our indoor plants department has one of the best selection of plants in the city: like these great peace lilies or the towering Alii Fig tree.
Fall Bulbs Mail order is busy shipping fall bulbs out now. One of our container-loads of bulbs was left sitting on a dock in Holland, so some of the bulbs are about a week behind, but everyone is hurrying to catch up..
Muffin Cups These nifty paper pot covers come is a selection of colours and sizes.
Call Centre Its the first anniversary of our call centre. Over 60,000 calls were routed through the centre, with our experts dealing with everything from missing shipments, new orders to plant problems and gardening advice. Everyone agrees it is a great improvement from all the abandoned calls and busy signals of past years.

Flowering Shrubs It's not to late to pick up some flowering shrubs like these Yellowbird and Pink Beauty potentillas.
Gorgeous Wood Our art in the garden initiative continues with this magnificient wood garden bench with inlay work in the benches.

Quality Care Poinsettias are one of the most challenging crops we grow and a lot of care and attention is needed to deliver a quality plant. Each poinsettia is pinched to promote branching soon after it arrives at our greenhouses. After the shoots have been allowed to grow out, we then have to decide which plants to keep and which to discard as substandard. Each plant is examined and those that have too few breaks (new shoots--like the one pictured below) are removed from the pots and composted. This way we can ensure that only the fullest and healthiest poinsettias are available for sale at Christmas time.
