shades of pink? white, burgandy, and speckled?
Here are a few of the different varieties we grow.

Christmas Greens

If you are thinking about decorating outside during this "warmer" weather, (by that I mean no snow☺) Huron Ridge is the place to go! We have cedar roping, bunches of various greens grown right here in northern Ontario, Cranberry Dogwood, winter planters, ribbon and soon we'll have wreaths in 3 different sizes. The greens were picked up on Friday so we've been sorting and bunching getting them ready for you!

Preview

The beginnings of spring!
These are the pansy seedlings now and what they will look like come March. The coloured picture is from last March, just so you don't think we have those already! There are
thousands seeded now and we will be potting them and growing them
all winter. Having a greenhouse is like farming, we're always planning
and planting ahead so the crops are ready at the right time. :)

Mark your calenders!

We'd like to invite you to our
Christmas Poinsettia Candlelight Festival

Come and see the colourful poinsettias by day or or at night by candlelight. On Friday and Saturday, we are open 9am-9 pm and Sunday afternoon from 1-5pm. Hope you can join us for treats and breathtaking scenery.
I'll post more details at a later date.
Hope you have a great weekend coming up...the weather sounds fabulous for November. Go for a hike, plant some tulip bulbs and jump in some leaves! :)
