I love this flower bed! I spotted it at the Goderich Vet Clinic when I was driving by one day. It just goes to show how creative one can be with plants! The taller plants are corn stalks, the spikey plants in between the corn are onions! The smaller green plant on this side of the corn is a pepper plant. They were dispersed all along the bed as well. I believe the flowers are petunias.

If you have a creative garden that is growing, send me a picture at lorraine@huronridge.ca

I'd love to see it and might even post it with your permission!

thinking cool thoughts

During this heat wave, we thought you may need some help to think cool thoughts. So here is what's happening in the greenhouse these days......you're right, it's poinsettias.

Our rooted cuttings have been arriving over the past several weeks, and today we will start putting them into pots to grow into the bright & beautiful flowers we associate with Christmas, snow and cold weather.

You can see how well they have rooted in the oasis, but now they need some soil to get the nutrition needed to grow into strong healthy plants

Each strip of cuttings comes clearly labelled to indentify the 25+ varieties that we grow.
