Is doing just fine, thank you. They're getting ready to bloom; you must see this!
Two years ago, we installed a Cactus Display Garden about halfway up the front steps on the right side. The bed is made up of several layers of different media for good drainage, like our Hardy Alpine Trough Gardens.
30 Cactus and related Succulents were installed initially, with another 25 added last Spring. We'll be adding more as time goes by to demonstrate how easily they survive and add diversity and beauty to a Planted Garden.
Cuttings and offshoots are available for purchase in front of Greenhouse 2; soon they'll grow up and add much pleasure to your Garden.
The Cactus & Succulents Workshop is Saturday, June 21st, from 10am to Noon. Our very special lecturer will be Al Waltemeyer, world- renowned horticulturist and collector, who will share some amazing things about cactic and succulents. Pre-registration is required. There is no charge for the session.
Year 'Round Container Herb Gardens
Now is a great time to plant individual or group herb containers for use year 'round use; keep them on your deck or back porch for cooking now. In the Fall, take them inside before first frost (Nov 15th) and keep them in the kitchen's sunny windowsill and use them all Winter long.
We have 50 varieties of herbs for you to choose from, and some containers already planted up, ready to go. If you wish, we'll custom plant yours while you wait.
