Garden Centre Inspiration

 

Went to Sheridan last week to "browse around" :)  It was just wonderful to see all the pretty colours and shapes of the beautiful blooms.  And look at that nice arrangement the store put together - so pretty! 

 

Nice rain barrel they had there - top portion acts as a bird bath, good idea! 

Happy Spring!!!!

Ecofeminism

Fascinating interview with Vandana Shiva on the George Stroumboulopoulos show

Fascinating....

Watch it if you have 20 minutes.... 

Love - Care - Compassion - and Embrace. 

Seed starting chart

Here's a very useful chart I found online today from the Organic Gardening magazine.... it can help you figure out when to start your seeds depending on your vegetable types:

Hopefully my vegetable garden this year will be as beautiful as this one I saw at the Canada Blooms show :) 

Winter arrangements

Check out this cool winter container arrangement I saw ay Sheridan Nurseries today.... Love the orange and green combination!   This totally inspired me to get some plant materials myself and attempt an arrangement for our place..... Stay tuned for updates!!

Orange and green planter arrangement

A beautiful planter orange and green arrangement I saw at Sheridan Nurseries the other day.  I really love that light green leafy plant (I think they're called Sweet Potato Vine?).  It really freshens up the arrangement and goes with practically everything.  I think they were quite popular this summer as I saw them at many gardening centres.  Hopefully next summer they will still be "in style" so I can get some for my container gardens :)
