Garden Centre Inspiration

It’s been a cold wet week here on the Witch’s Island. Not the best weather to be out digging in the ground but our gardens are crying out for their flowers and veggies so hopefully we’ll get some co-operation from the skies today and get them planted out.

In the mean time we have been looking for inspiration at some of the pictures we took last month at a couple of the local garden centres. We just love going to these places, they are always so beautiful especially at this time of year when they are packed to the rafters with all their brightly coloured flowers. The warmth and the humidity and the possibilities all seem endless. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to afford to fill your tulip beds with as many bulbs as they used in the first couple of pictures?

Enjoy the photos, I’m going to finish my coffee and then go out and start getting dirty!


The demonstration garden at one of our local garden centrs.

Each of these tulip beds must have had hundreds of bulbs in them.

More tulips.

I wish that my flower beds looked this beautiful.

Inside another greenhouse it was a riot of colour with flowers on the ceiling, the wals and the floor!

These Pansies were arranged by colour. Which would you pick?

Marigolds are one of my favourite annuals. They are very hardy and last well into the fall.

More Pansies!

Impatiens are also very popular. Just look at all the boxes they have ready!

There were lots of hanging baskets and bags, too.

This grapevine has been growing inside this greenhouse for as long as we’ve been going there. It produces an amazing quantity of fruit every year.

Hubby loves Coleus and puts some in every year.

Calla Lilies as far as the eye can see.

Walmart has it’s greeters and so does this garden centre.

Did you bring any food?
