Free Coffee!!!



The Boss Terri has decided that she will give everyone who mentions reading the blog a free cup of coffee. Now, that makes it worthwhile to drive to Fern Glen Farm and Garden Centre just off of Fern Glen Road on Mason's Road in Emsdale!!! See you soon!!!

Welcome to Fern Glen Farm and Garden Centre



Here we are at Fern Glen Farm and Garden Centre, ready to welcome you to another year of great gardening. As you can see, we already have a gorgeous array of pansies and primroses to brighten up that sleepy looking garden of yours. Come on in and chose while there are so many different colours available. There are also some lovely primula that decided to winter over here and are showing off their new blooms.




The side yard is getting full of soil, mulch, manure and bags of "3 Way". There is a large pile of gravel and another of garden soil - dark enough to make a gardener drool!!!



Many perennials spent the winter protected here at Fern Glen. The staff have been busy cleaning this area up. New growth is peaking through everywhere. So exciting to see!!!

It isn't often that you see our greenhouse looking like this. Patiently waiting for the onslaught to come. Notice the new floor. Wow, it is beautiful!!!

We decided as a team that we would start short days in the greenhouse early April as it was stil very cold. Lots of our bare root product had arrived and needed to be attended to.




It was so good to be back with our hands in the dirt and as we had not been all together for a few months there was lots of gossip to catch up on too!




Lynn, Lynda, Francine and I had plenty of laughs on those cold days and we soon transformed our old greenhouse into a hive of activity.



Well it seems that winter flew by - and before we knew it there were trade shows to go to and orders to attend to. In early January we had a couple of intense days of trying to predict what we needed to order, some items were already sold out - can you believe. Its always so hard to guess what the economy was going to do. Doom and gloom was all we were hearing, plus there was still a heck of a lot of snow outside.
