Succulent Tree
$29 |
With the
recent trends of going green, Savvy Succulents are in vogue as they
don't need a lot of water or fertilizers to flourish. Be the first to
create a living tree in this brand new class. This is Tina's favorite in
the fall series. Our greenhouse gang has been busy for the last 2 months
taking thousands of succulent cuttings so we will have plenty to work
with. You can enjoy your little tree outside until the end of
October, then bring it inside for the winter in a sunny windowsill.
You can customize it in November by adding a few dried flowers or
berries to create a a harvest theme tree for Thanksgiving, and
your own cute little ornaments on it as a tabletop Christmas tree. |

Beautiful cream, chartreuse & mauve blossoms will finish drying in your

garden featuring a real, live Pee Gee hydrangea shrub and some fantastic
fillers. Later, plant it in your garden, and you'll be able to harvest
your own flowers for years to come! See the top picture of a full-grown
Pee Gee hydrangea tree. It can be kept pruned much smaller if
you'd like, but it has the potential to get about 12 to 15 feet tall.
Think of all the hydrangea wreaths you'll be able to make yourself in a
few years! Space is limited, so please register early!

Layered Bulb Pot
$29 |
If you had to choose just one class, we highly recommend this
one. We really cram about $50 of bulbs into an oval pot by
planting them in layers. We over-winter it here in the greenhouses that are
heated to 32 degrees for 14 weeks so they can be tricked into thinking they are
underground. You pick up the pot in February, put it inside a cool sunny window,
and you will have blooms for a month. All just when you think winter will never
end. This is one of the most highly rated classes we have. Each year over 100 people signed up for this class so we add additional class times
during the day so that everyone has plenty of space and materials. Pickup day is
Feb. 14, 2009 at 10 am. More info on where to
go and how to care for them is here. |
