Magenta, pink, and purple flowers

Turn the winter blues into garden green. If you need a little inspiration or encouragement, we've put together two seminars to get you started. Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 9:30 am African Violets and Gesneriads: An Affordable Addiction Update: Due to impending weather conditions, the African Violet Seminar will not be held on Saturday, Feb. 6. It has been rescheduled for 9:30 am on Saturday, Feb. 13, immediately preceding the terrarium seminar. There is a reason that these lovely plants can be found in so many homes, for so many years. With many varieties beyond the typical purple bloom, they are a collector's delight, and their relatives, the gesneriads, include gloxinia, streptocarpus, and the fun lipstick plant. We'll discuss easy care, soil, light, and water requirements, propagation techniques, and how to encourage blooming. Please call to registerfor this free seminar! Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 10:00 am Terrariums: Tiny and Terrific Terrariums (covered or enclosed gardens) always capture the imagination. Often made to appear a landscapes in miniature, the care is fairly simple. Our free seminar will discuss the supplies needed and planting techniques along with a demonstration. Following that, the optional opportunity to plant your own terrarium! We'll supply the planting supplies and assistance for $5, you bring your own container or purchase one here (at 20% Off!) and only pay for the tiny plants you use. Registration is necessary, space may be limited.
