These mini roses were bred from True Roses for a smaller, more compact size which makes them great for containers, window boxes, and landscape borders and edging.  We have a variety of colors to choose from and each of them has a ‘best quality’.  Check out the ‘best quality’ of the following three. 

We don’t want you getting all stressed out trying to decide on one particular color of mini rose to take home, so the price has been reduced 33%.  That way you can choose several different colors.  Feel better?

Back by popular demand!  Our July 13^th flea market went so well that we are going to have another one!   

You have another opportunity to clean out your garage, basement, and cupboards and bring your treasures out to our Flea Market on Saturday, August 24, from 8am-3pm. 

To participate we require a non-refundable registration fee of $20.00.  After you arrive and have your space set up on that morning, America’s Best Flowers will present you with a $20.00 America’s Best Flowers gift card.  Each vendor will be allowed two parking spaces, which equals one booth, to display their wares.   

More vendor space is available for an additional $10.00 for each parking space.  Additional space must be requested at the time of the initial registration.  Each vendor is limited to only one $20.00 America’s Best Flowers gift card regardless of the number of parking spaces.

Rain or shine! Set up time is at 6:30am and the starting bell is at 8am.  This event will end at 3pm.  Vendors will need to bring their own furnishings, tables, awnings, chairs, etc.

For safety purposes all vendor vehicles must be parked in a separate area and will not be allowed in the market area until after 3pm.  Space is limited.  Don’t wait to register! 

To register please send a check to America’s Best Flowers for the number of booths you would like to reserve.  In the memo section of your check please put ‘Flea Market”.  For clarity include a short note stating how many booths you are registering for, a telephone number and/or email address for contact purposes.

There are a few restrictions on what may be brought to the flea market at our greenhouse.  They are as follows:

• No firearms or ammunition,
• No live animals,
• No flowers and/or plants,
• No alcohol or tobacco is allowed on America’s Best Flowers’ property.

Remember, one person’s junk is another person’s treasure.

If you are interested in joining us contact Shirley at abfscimino@yahoo.com or call the greenhouse at 608-222-2269.

Every year America’s Best Flowers donates seven large planted containers to the Wisconsin State Fair.  We’re pretty sure you’ll recognize our work.  Our beautiful containers are located in the Wisconsin Products Building.

Zinnias!

You can easily change the entire feel and appearance of your area by simply adding several pre-potted zinnia mini gardens, fabulous pre-potted coleus arrangements or any of our dazzling hanging baskets. 

Maybe one of our Ancient Graffiti tables to rest a book, a potted plant or cold beverage on would be the perfect accent for you. 

How about a garden flag?  We have several designs and themes to choose from.  We also have the hardware to hang them from. 

Stop on out, take a relaxing stroll through our greenhouses and see for yourself the many options that are available.  We’re pretty sure you’ll find that it will be time well spent.

The next time you fire up the grill try adding a few fresh herbs to your vegetables and main dish.  Add cilantro for that south of the border taste or basil leaves for a wonderful Italian flavor.  What an easy way to add some fun and flavor to your summer menu. Stop out today and check out our home-grown herb selection.

Choose from our wide selection of herbs and add some pizzazz to your next cookout.

Lucy stopping to sniff the flowers

Lucy loves these cooler days.  She can lie outside in the grass without getting overheated.  She can relax on the deck without the fan whirling at her to keep her cool.  Yes, you read it right.  We have a fan on the deck for Lucy’s comfort.  Hey, the fan also works to keep the mosquitoes away.

We’ve even been able to go for a walk around the block without her getting too overheated and tired.  I should add that we do take a break at the neighborhood park.  She has a nice long drink of water and does the investigating (sniff) thing while I sit and watch.

Hey, I know exactly what you are thinking, “Lucy is probably not the one that needs a break.”  Maybe, then again, maybe not!  Only Lucy and I know the answer to that.  And neither one of us is speaking!

`til next time,
    ~ Shirley
