Large twig basket filled with bulbs and cold-loving annuals to fill in after bulbs finish bloomin’.  This is a large, tall twig basket, just like in the picture.

Enjoy inside for Easter, then put it outside for the spring.

Plant an “Endless Summer” hydrangea in a classic, blue, glazed pot to enjoy a summer of endless love.

Endless summer hydrangeas are our #1 selling shrub- because of a breeding breakthrough, they bloom all summer on "same-year" wood, meaning the flower buds don't have to endure our cold winters.  That is the number one reason the old varieties failed to bloom well in central Massachusetts (as opposed to on the Cape, and in Rhode Island.)

This class is full. No more materials are available.

Classy, eleven inch, dark blue ceramic bowl with calming, blue flowers & white twig “thrillers.” At least one plant will be a perennial that you can plant in your garden at the end of the season.

Two different varieties of blueberry bushes (required for for cross-pollination) will Thrill, while tasty, ever-bearing straw-berries Spill down the outside of this pot. You'll be picking berries off and on all summer, and at the end of the year, plant the whole thing in a sunny spot, and you'll have lots and lots of berried for years to come.  These are some of the easiest fruits to grow.  besides fertilizer, just about all you need to do is remember to throw a net on them, as the bird have an uncanny way of telling the moment the berries are ripe.

Marvelous mix of mesclun salad greens and tasty herbs in a large, white birch basket.

The link to the song "Plant a Radish" is one of my favorite songs from the Broadway Musical "The Fantastiks" which in which I performed in college.  I didn't actually sing this song, but it certainly spoke to me.  I hope it does to you, too!)

Add cottage charm with a 30 inch black, iron chair planted with sun-loving Fillers and Spillers. (Yes, I know the picture shows a white chair, but this is the only picture I could find of something similar.)  The design of the annuals will be more creative than shown.

This class is full. We were not able to get any more chairs. For anyone already registered we are splitting the class. We have a 3 pm session. If anyone would like to switch from the 4 pm just give us a call and let us know. (508) 885-4247

Perennials (Bee Balm, Coneflower & Butterfly Bush) summon butterflies to a flying flower café.  We'll also tuck in a few annuals to get the show of to a colorful start.  At the end of the season, take the plants out of the pot and split them back up to plant them in your garden, because they can grow quite large if given the space and fertilizer.  All 3 are very long bloomin'.

Add some whimsy to your garden with these child-sized overalls bursting with blooms. This is the perfect class for those who like our garden to provide an emotional pick-me-up.  How can you not smile every time you look at this?

Define your garden with a little practical whimsy. Planted with 64 perennial groundcovers.  This used to be a deluxe class costing $10 more, but I figured out a way to sneak it into the regular-priced classes because, hey, I really like this one.

Goodness gracious! Our largest hanging basket project in 13 years! Features spreading petunias.

Since we are getting a full month jump start on this basket, this is sure to grow to this size by the middle of the summer.

Two-tiered explosion of ten different culinary herbs that might just make you the next Top Chef!  Includes a coupon for a free basil plant (which we will leave a space for), since late April is too cold for this warm-loving herb.  All the rest will be fine outside early, and many are even perennial.

This class is full at both 10 am and 7 pm but two additional ones are scheduled for 11:30 am on Wed April 29, and also for 7 pm on Thursday April 30 at 7 pm.

Our favorite perennial vine races to the top of a metal obelisk. (Yes, I know the picture shows a wooden one.) Spillers create a color cascade down the sides of the pot in order to keep the clematis roots cool, a necessity when growing clematis.

This class is full but a second one has been scheduled for 5:30 pm this same day.

Customize a window box to match your own home with a wide selection of flowers.  We will help you pick the right colors and textures to make sure your window shows up from a distance, even if it is far from the road.

If you want to paint your wooden window box, come in and pick it up ahead of time to do so.  The wood is unfinished, and can be painted or stained to match your home.

The plastic window box is terra-cotta colored, and can be painted as well, but looks fine as is.

Clay pots stacked into a 4 foot tipsy pot, dripping with a rainbow of colorful flowers. This picture is of our bookkeeper, Dawn's home, showing the actual plants we used last year.  She said all of her neighbors remarked about how interesting, colorful, and unique this planter was.  This used to be a deluxe class for $10 more, but we figured out a less expensive way to make the frame inside that holds it all up. This really should be a deluxe class because of the clay pots, but I got a great overstock deal from one of my pottery suppliers.  So make sure to take this class this year. I may not get that great deal ever again. BEST VALUE!

This class is full at both 10 am and 7 pm but two additional ones are scheduled for 11:30 am on Wed May 6, and also for 7 pm on Thursday May 7 at 7 pm.

Giant dahlias complimented with compatible fillers and spillers create bold elegance.  You'll learn how to grow these babies from tubers (bulb-like roots) and get to choose at least two dahlia colors to plant.  This old-fashioned plant is making a big comeback in new England, perhaps because of our frugality...this roots of this "annual" can actually be stored inside for the winter to be planted out again next year, as it is actually a perennial, just not hardy here in New England winters.

Our favorite plants:  Chiller: Black elephant ears (Colocasia), Chiller: white sage (Salvia argentia), Spiller: black sweet potato vine, white fillers, and a 4 foot plant called shooting stars (Nicotiana sylvestris, not shown in picture, because I just invented this class.)

Cone basket filled with Patient Lucy (impatiens) and other shade-lovers like blue lobelia and upright fuchsia to beckon hummingbirds.

The 7 pm session is full but a second one has been scheduled for 7 pm on Thursday May 14.

This living wreath of impatiens looks great on a door, wall, fence, tree, or atop a birdbath.

This class is full but a second one has been scheduled for 5 pm this same day.

C’mon baby!  You know you want this. Also works on a lamppost, column, or railing. It uses one whole tray of 48 impatiens to fill the reusable plastic tube.  Consider getting another tray of impatiens to plant at the base to continue the spiral effect. Even though the impatiens sale will be over, we will hold the sale price for anyone taking this class who wants to match or contrast the flowers in their spiral.
