Many Thanks

A big thank you to everyone who came out this weekend to support us in our 40th Anniversary Celebrations and Open House.  It was a great weekend.  A special thank you to our Mayor - Bill Dowson,  our MPP - Lisa Thompson and our MP - Ben Lobb who were all on hand for the cutting of our cake on Sunday afternoon!

It was also neat to have on hand both the Member of Parliment from 1973 when we opened, as well as our current member.  Here's a photo of former MP - Bob McKinley enjoying a chat with MP - Ben Lobb.

Thanks again to everyone!

Congratulations also to our $40 gift card winner from last week - Steve Donohue.  There are 3 more weeks you can enter to win!  Enter often!!

Spring planting

Open 9-5 Monday-Saturday

April 1

Well, April is here and with it, hopefully a last blast of wintery weather! Nature's April Fool's trick on us! Easter weekend was beautiful which I'm sure everyone was glad for.
Inside the greenhouses are filling up with hanging baskets, planters and pots! Pansies are in full bloom ready to brighten up the outdoors. Is it ok to put them out now? Absolutely! Unfortunately the cold wind and bit of snow we are getting will break off the blooms and they will look tough for a few days so if you can place them in a sheltered spot until the biting wind has let up, it would be best for them. Don't worry about the cold. Pansies don't mind it.
Also if you bought some primula or other Easter flowers such as tulip, hydrangea or daffodils, enjoy them indoors until the ground warms up, then pick a suitable spot in your gardens and transplant them outside! If your hydrangea is blue, the soil will need to be amended with Aluminum Sulphate otherwise the blooms will revert back to their original color.

Here are a few pictures of what's growing.

Easter

Wishing you and yours a blessed Easter!
