Dream Garden Class

It’s cold and wintry still…let’s work on a miniature Dream Garden…Using a terra cotta saucer we will be creating a little indoor garden area. Denise has one already made and it is soooo cute. Combining indoor plants, a tchotchke or two, we will create a garden for your indoors while you dream about the outdoors. Materials fee based on plants used. Bring your own tchotchkes or small special rocks…we will have some but feel free to add whatever!!!

February 24, 2:30 Call for sign ups or email us!!!

Construction Zone

Good things are happening. The Plant Barn is getting a new look and new space is being added. Sunny space! A place for the roses to really shine.

Here's Some

Here are the two roses we bought... I doubt that the photos will do them justice.

Hot Cocoa

And the second one...I couldn't find a link on the Weeks page, so here's another link. Austrian Copper

You may want to hurry down to the Plant Barn. With weather like this, I think a lot of bare root roses will be going in the ground.

Roses and More

Jeekers! So many roses...the Weeks roses shipment has arrived and you need to look at them. Soon. And I have to get some pictures posted here so that you can be truly motivated to come and look for yourself. Denise has done a great job of selecting varieties...

(I couldn't help myself. I should know better. But we saw at least two roses that we had to have. They are sitting in a bucket of water right now and will be planted this afternoon, if we can find the proper spot for them.)

And other bare root offerings are in as well. Weeping Cherry; fantastic! Bada Bing Cherry; another beauty! And of course some dwarf peaches to go along with the cherries. I bought both of those last year and they are doing great. Do I need more?

Roses 101

I know we said we would be open on the 5th and if you came by, you might have been disappointed to see the lights off and the gate closed. A 'little' storm happened along and changed the schedule. Luckily, damage was minimal and we're open again and just in time, because...

Bareroot roses are here and it's time for a new class...Roses 101.

You can learn all about Rose Pruning! And choosing varieties;

1. Floribunda
2. Grandiflora
3. Climbers
4. Hybrid Teas

Meet this years new varieties and learn all about planting bare root.

Class will meet at the Plant Barn on Sunday, January 20th at 2 PM.

Give them a call and get yourself enrolled. (530) 345-3121

Merry Christmas!

And a Happy New Year!

All is quiet in the barn. And will be till the 5th of January. Stay tuned for news of the New Year in gifts and plants.

ps. To the customers; Thank you so much for the wonderful year past. Couldn't do it without you!

What Time is it?

It's Poinsettia time! The Poinsettia's are back and the Plant Barn has THOUSANDS of them... OK, maybe just many, many hundreds. And, they are all healthy and beautiful. And in a wide variety of colors and sizes.

Here's the owner of the Plant Barn, Denise, in one of the greenhouses devoted to growing these lovely holiday flowers.

If you're looking for gifts, the Plant Barn has a large assortment and there's always something new.

Be sure and stop in at the Poinsettia House, located right behind the barn, for just the right gift and the perfect Poinsettia...at the Plant Barn!

Class Time

Rose, the nursery cat... says that there will be a wreath making class at the Plant Barn on December 2nd. From 3 to 5 PM. stop by and sign up or write the Flower Floozie for information.

Rose says, Wreese? Wat, no cheezbrgrz?

Soothing

Have you seen the fountains?
This one of my favorites, although we are adding a new fountain to the Poinsettia House and that will be in operation soon. Come and take a look - at the Plant Barn.

Pansies

Wife and friends were in the kitchen this morning, busy making cards for the church bazaar this weekend and I happened to notice that dried pansies were being used. OK, I don't know why, but the pansy is my favorite flower. I think it may have to do with my mother cutting them fresh from the garden and then floating the blossoms in a large, almost flat bowl. The bowl was glazed in a dark blue and the bright colors of the pansies shone! (Where is that bowl?)

A great flower to cut, to dry, or just to look at. And the Plant Barn has some for you...

Signs of the Times

How would this look in your garden? Or living room? The Plant Barn has plenty of different ones for you to choose from...

Here they are!

Have you seen some of the Animals at the Plant barn?

All quite friendly!
