Yes...It's Spring!

This is spring...

on the Nebraska prairie!!

Don't Worry...

Spring is hiding out in our greenhouse for just a little while longer!  One of our unique favorites is sharing it's blooms with us today...Abutilon Megapotamicum.  A sun loving, spreading type vine that thrives in our sunny container gardens and hanging baskets!

The First Day Of Spring!

Happy First Day Of Spring!

A little more cold weather in the forecast...then we'll be ready for this explosion of spring color!

Early Spring Duties...

These first few beautiful days in the gardens reminds me that perhaps a little more time spent on the treadmill this winter would have been a good thing!  But with sights like this in our future...

We'll keep that bottle of Ibuprofen handy...no pain...no gain, right?  Dreamland Zinnias will be available in the greenhouse during the Spring Open House!

The gorgeous Silverberry Petunia!

The light reflects beautifully on these blooms making it a great candidate for a Moon Garden!

So...there's the plan for our Gazebo this year!!

A Special Twist On An Old Fashioned Favorite...

Our favorites are the unusual and unique plants we grow in our gardens...

But every once in awhile...

We find a variety of a common plant that we love to include in our landscape!

Bubblegum Vista Petunia is one of those plants!

Available in beautiful hanging baskets, container gardens and starter sized plants!

Reserve the date!!

Spring Open House...
