This may seem like a quiet time of year around here but actually alot is happening! Right now with the nastier wet weather, we are working inside. Perennials are being put to bed but as long as it doesn't freeze, spring bulbs can be tucked into the earth ready to bring glorious colour to our eyes in the brown of spring time!
Danielle and Darren are planting primula (picture above) for February. Primula are bright, cheery plants that are a must have during the whiteness of winter. Clayt is sorting white pine branches that have been delivered to us for our winter planters, wreaths and other Christmas designs.

Tomorrow Dave and Carol are heading up north to pick up a big truckload of Christmas greens and cedar roping! So keep in mind, we will have bunches of scented greens and beautiful roping for your outdoor decorarting ready by Nov. 1.

Today Dave is gone to the annual meeting at Ontario Flower Growers in Mississauga. www.ontarioflowergrowers.ca He's been on the Board of Directors for 3 years now. We take product there 2x a week most of the year.

Carol is busy in the office most days keeping it running smoothly.

This afternoon Sally and I plan to open up Christmas boxes! We're getting ready to decorate around here for our annual Candlelight Event on Nov. 24-26, 5-8 pm. Check our website http://www.huronridge.ca/ for details.

Poinsettias are colouring up beautifully! It's amazing day to day the change that can be seen in these amazing plants!
