    Ok, I know… fake flowers at a garden centre?  I guess you haven’t been to Potters on 192nd st!  We boast our huge indoor gift area full of great gift ideas and decor.  We recently got a shipment of very reasonably priced artificial flowers.  I thought the gladiolas were real! Look how big the stems [...]

    Here Comes The Bunny!

    Monday, March 29th, 2010

    With Easter fast approaching (April 4) I’m sure people are hopping around (ha ha, I find myself amusing sometimes) for some goodies to give out. So this year instead of some chocolate why not try a beautiful bouquet of flowers, or a nice potted plant like a Calla or Easter lily! For all you rabbit lovers out there we [...]

    Friday, March 26th, 2010

    Cornus controversa ‘Variegata’ or “wedding cake tree” is the perfect tree for those who love trees and shrubs. This specimen has the most unique horizontally layered habit, topped off with an uncomparable variegated foliage.

    Oh Skimmia!

    Monday, March 22nd, 2010

    This spring beauty has it all! Fragrant white flowers in the spring; berries that follow; evergreen; prefers shade (or filtered sun). I could go on forever, but I won’t. I know you’re asking, “What’s the catch? And why is there always a catch to everything?” Well I only have an answer for the first one. The catch [...]

    Bonfire Pieris

    Friday, March 19th, 2010

    This little ‘Bonfire’ pieris caught my eye as I was walking through the aisles of our nursery last night. Not only is it a huge 1 gallon plant but its canopy was just covered with flowers. What a performer. I would love to pair it with purple primulas or even a ‘Peppermint Ice’ hellebore in my spring [...]

    Do you want those great big rhodo and azalea blooms like your neighbour? Well sir or madame, you need rhodo and azalea food! Now’s a great time to fertilize too, before most have started blooming.  You can get a granular food or a water soluble one; both work terrific! So if you want those bloomin’ [...]
