IMPORTANT INFORMATION
HOURS
7 DAYS PER WEEK
10am - 5pm
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- We grow 95% of our plants here in these greenhouses so not everything will be up to size when we open May 1st – check back in another week and there will be a huge difference eg. This year our tomatoes will be a bit small on opening day – we schedule to have them ready for May 24th!
- Please do NOT plant tender plants (see list bottom of this page) until May 24th
- If you decide to shop early (between May 1st and 10th) please keep a close eye on the weather – if the night temperature is going to be below 6C put your plants into the garage overnight
- DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PLANTS IN THE GARAGE DURING THE DAY – THEY MUST BE PUT OUTSIDE IN THE SUNSHINE DAILY
- Verbena, petunias and the plants in greenhouse #8 can be planted anytime after May 10th or earlier – they will tolerate a light frost since we have "hardened" them off. "Hardened off" means we lower our greenhouse temperature weekly once the plants have roots to the outside of the pot ("rooted out") and we roll up the sides of the greenhouses on nice days to keep them "chilled". This causes short, compact growth and beautiful, strong plants. They may be smaller but they are MIGHTY!
