The bank .... not where the money is

For those of you who know we did major renovations in the fall of 08 and started planting up the bank - here are some shots of the progress

Today I was working in the heat trying to get some weeding done, once the plant material thickens in we won't be able to see the weeds ... well thats my theory!

Why not come pop past and see the progress - its quite phenomenal just how fast stuff is filling in.

I am a bad blogger!

It's not because I can't I just seem to be on the go doing other stuff all the time - loosing passwords doesn't help either!

Well after disasterous Mothers Day May picked up and was so busy we never even took photos, so here are a few from 1 June.

Mother's Day Weekend....

Our hearts were bleeding when we woke Saturday morning to a snow storm!!! What a shock from Mother Nature after all the wonderful weather we had been experiencing so far this spring. The roads were snow covered by 10:00 a.m. and it looked bleak for the our special speaker, Don Powers. Don was to be speaking on "Healing your Lawn" at 10:30 a.m.

Voila!!! Out of the snow they came!! Twenty four hardy gardeners eager to learn all about a new lifestyle for their lawns and gardens and to learn secrets of managing weeds and how to conserve water. It was a great event and very stimulating and useful to all who attended. The excellent coffee from Lily's Cafe warmed body and soul. Be sure not to miss our next free seminar. Look for upcoming details.

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!!!
