Spring

Spring, spring, wonderful spring. We wait forever and finally it is really here. Well that is the usual feeling but this season we have had spring every other day it seems.

We have been working all winter in the woodshop. Refurbishing benches, processing seeds, making wood products, and creating new items of interest for the gardens. This has kept us quite busy.

Our spring projects are centered around our greenhouse. We will be growing annual plants for Finlandia Gardens. Many new varieties of cosmos, zinnias, and cleome are on the agenda along with favorite traditional varieties of marigolds and snapdragons.

We invite you to bring your children to see our gardens. They will learn gardening techniques from our Master Gardeners and the visit will add a new dimension to their lives. Bring them to participate in greenhouse seed planting in April and reserve a vegetable garden box. We will be planting starts in the gardens in late May. We can accommodate your family schedule. Contact us for further information or to make a reservation.

We notice a number of preying mantis egg cases in our gardens. Will you find this insect in our gardens this summer? These along with dragonflies, butterflies, and other insects will make a visit interesting and exciting.

We will look to see you during the growing year.
