Cut flower bouquets
Something new at Huron Ridge! Cut ranunculus bouquets. These flowers are sometimes called false roses because of their similarities. A beautiful array of colours, these are "pretty awesome" blooms (as Danielle, one of amazing employees describes them).

It's started!
Yesterday all of our planting/shipping crew returned and the place is buzzing again! With this abnormal weather, our shipping crew has been busy loading pansy pots of all sizes and primula to a number of stores. Pansies and primula don't mind the cooler weather and will bloom quite happily through the spring especially if spent blooms are clipped off. Today we are celebrating the first day of spring by offering any size pansy or viola container "Buy 2, get the 3rd one free!" Primula are also on special today only for $1.25! We're open until 6 to accommodate those who can't make it out before 5. Hope to see you!

Spring Temperature Swings
When temperatures swing from +13 to -10 in one day, we know it's spring-time in Ontario. Pansies & Primula are up for it though, and actually perform best in cool weather. Most daytime temperatures this time of year are perfect for the bright faces of a Pansy container to greet everyone coming to your door. If the temperature is going to get much below freezing, you may want to set it indoors for overnight. Forgetting to do that won't cause the end of it, but will set it back a week or two until it blooms again. What better way is there to Welcome Spring ?

Fresh herbs
We have a few fresh herbs ready- sage, oregano, mint and cilantro.
Mint makes great tea after a meal and cilantro flavors fresh salsa or quinoa salad. Yum! And who doesn't love oregano in pasta sauce!
