Stunning Deals

The What's New is a bit late this week because of internet problems, but that doesn't mean that thes aren't still lots of great deals in the store.

The show garden is still amazingly colourful with the first fall crocus of the year appearing and gentians still profusely flowering.

This year's halloween is coming fast and the garden centre is starting to take on an eerie feeling.

 

 ...and Goblins

The pumpkin patch will be opening in a week or so, so plan on coming out and seeing the great decorating ideas while you pick out a pumpkin.

 

November Flowers

The annual Hort trade show in November always needs flowers so we currently have a great crop of impatiens, petunias, bacopa and more growing in the greenhouses!

 

Mulching ideas

I was complaining about frozen peatmoss the other day when I recieved an obvious suggestion from one of our staff. Buy your peatmoss now and store them warm and dry in your garage. That way when you need to mulch those tender roses after the ground has frozen, you'll be working with warm, dry, easy-to-spread peatmoss.
