With Every Season There Is Change...AGAIN
We like to keep our readers informed on what we are up to.
• We've Grown!
In order to keep up with growing customer demand, we have expanded our production area yet once again.
Since the last update of this webpage, we have added a second Super Structure to our production area. This has allowed us to both increase our hanging basket and geranium production. All our production has been modernized and most of our plants are on an automated watering and fertilizing system to ensure proper quality plants just for you!
While you are here, feel free to have a peek! It would, however, be great to ask George or Karl first!

• Spring's Almost Here!
As the snow is slowly melting, and the snowdrops are patiently pushing their way up (if it didn't already happen in December or January), it's time to think about what you can do in the next few weeks.
You could think about seeking out some new pots or planters, and even what you are going to put into them. Things that work well in the early spring include pansies, english ivy, primroses, coral bells and sepervivums (chickens and hens). Dont forget that you can even use forced spring bulbs such as hyacinths, daffodill, crocus, and muscari to adda punch of colour. To create height, you can use a variety of branches such as curled willow, red dogwood, forsythia, pussy willow, and even apple branches in bloom.
Don't be afraid to be creative, or even silly, I've even seen some people use little bird houses, fake birds and even rabbits in their blooming pots. Remember, THERE ARE NO RULES!
Just have fun!

• Water for Tomorrow, Rain or No Rain???
Every spring we wonder what sort of weather we will have for the coming summer. We often get asked at the garden centre if we know how much it will rain, but truth be known, we can only guess....
Even if we get less than normal rainfall, don't fret because there are still plenty of perennials and annuals you can successfully plant.
Black Forest Garden Centre will once again be involved with the WATER FOR TOMORROW program. This program promotes and teaches water conservation both inside your home, as well as out-doors. With wiser water use, we can ensure that there will be enough for future generations.
If you would like more information on the Water For Tomorrow program, you can pick up literature at the store, or visit http://www.waterfortomorrow.com
