Saturday March 16th, 10:00 a.m. So this is new…waxed Amaryllis for Spring! In Spring coloured wax (pink, mauve, yellow) the pre-sprouted stem will open to a white or pink blooming Amarylis, usually within the month of being exposed to light and warmth. What a joy to watch Amaryllis blooms open in the Spring-time! The container for this design will be a 8” wicker “nest” and will include three foliage or blooming plants, along with your choice of high-value, pre-sprouted waxed Amaryllis. Decorative mosses (to nestle the waxed Amaryllis), pussy willows and curly willow and a cute bird will complete the project. This will be a beautiful, long-lasting arrangement for your kitchen island or table. -
“Some Bunny Loves You” Workshop Saturday March 23, 10:00 a.m. The unique wooden and metal planter from the “Woven Wonder Workshop” comes in a set of two – while the larger is this afternoon’s workshop, let’s use the smaller size (overall height 13”) to create a beautiful tabletop planter for Spring in the morning session! In the reclaimed wood, square planter, participants will plant a selection of Spring bloomers such as primula, ranunculus, pre-sprouted bulbs, green houseplants, begonias, calandivia and more. As a finished product, the wooden planter will be mounted on the black metal stand, and your arrangement will be full and lush, accented with decorative mosses, pussy willows plus a whimsical rabbit face (stone, metal or wood, TBD) peeking out from amid the foliage. -
Clean and Green Workshop Saturday March 16, 1:00 p.m Hands-up if you love green and white! Participants will choose either a crisp white glass bowl or a moody forest green glass bowl as the container for this new hands-on workshop. Both colour choices are the same generous size: 10” round. Once filled with clean potting mix, a beautiful, white double stem orchid will be placed as the focal point. Surrounding it will be your choice of 6-7 plants including: white calandivia, fluffy ferns, spider plants, white polk-a-dots, peace lilies, ivy and other fresh, green or neutral colour blooming plants. Design techniques and long-term care will be discussed while your instructors guide you in this small group workshop. -
A NEW Collaborative Workshop - “Woven Wonder” Saturday March 23, 1:00pm We’ve created a new project in collaboration with “The Branch Ranch” in Warkworth and we think you will love it! The first hour of this hands-on workshop will be working with Jessica to create a willow woven obelisk that will sit on the rim of a country/modern chic square planter consisting of black metal and reclaimed wood. While learning weaving techniques she will also guide you to make a small willow birdnest. Next, Vikki will take over and guide participants in planting a Spring arrangement full of ranunculus, pre-sprouted hyacinths, daffodils, tulips, fluffy ferns, trailing ivy, blooming calandivia, pussy willows and foliage fillers. The birdnest, nestled with a few faux eggs and birdies, will tuck in for a magical Springtime design! Total height of the planter is 22”; the wooden planting vessel can be separated from the metal base to be used as a tabletop planter or the whole unit can styled as a compliment to your furniture. A unique design! -
Do you have an urn or similarly sized pot at your front door or on your porch? Are you often at a loss as to what to plant in it, often leaving it empty from one season to the next? We can help! Our Urn Club is a special program that helps those who don't have time or don't enjoy planting their own seasonal urn insert. Participation offers four seasonal urn inserts for one fee, paid when the program is purchased: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Upon purchase participants are given a card to show our staff during the 2-3 week scheduled pick up dates for each seasonal insert. Inserts are designed by us offering the perfect mix for your outdoor display. There are always 5-6 choices of colour and/or design (in the Summer, choices also include sun/shade/partial shade mixes). There are no custom orders for this program; you'll find choice is always plentiful and the quality you expect from our team.
