Wow!  When is all this yard work going to be done?  I just want to roll in the grass, sleep in the grass and daydream in the grass.  Is that asking too much? 

But my mom and dad keep saying to me, ’Lucy, it can’t be all fun and games!’ 

‘Why can’t it be? Isn’t that what life is all about?’  I ask them.

Ahhh, I gotta go I’m getting the evil eye!

Our last spring Container Garden Workshop is this Saturday and Sunday, May 17-18, from 10 – 4 PM. The workshop starts at 10 AM and is ongoing throughout the day till 4 PM.  Come in anytime between those hours.  After you have shopped for your plants, flowers, and containers pick your spot in our designated workshop area and let the fun begin!

It’s a hands-on experience, so be sure to bring your garden gloves. If you forget them, don’t worry, we have a wide variety of reasonably priced gardening gloves to choose from.  Our knowledgeable and friendly associates will be happy to assist you while you do the planting and will help with any and all plant or design questions.

We do ask that if you are bringing in containers from home, please empty all soil from them before bringing them to our greenhouse.   We will provide fresh and FREE potting soil for your creation and we will also clean up the mess.

If you are bringing in large containers please bring in packing peanuts, chunks of Styrofoam or Styrofoam egg cartons to help fill the bottom of your container.  It makes the container a whole lot lighter for you to transport back home and also, easier to rearrange in your garden if you want to change your outside decor.

Do you like homemade tomato soup?  If so, Steve, our herb guy, will be serving up samples of his homemade tomato soup on Saturday. Usually, Steve enhances his soup with herbs, herbs and more herbs.  But, Steve thought it would be cool if we offered herb lovers and herb novices the opportunity to try a variety of herbs in a sampling of his tomato soup.  You’ll have the chance to choose which herb you’ll like to flavor your soup with.  Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

And that’s not all!  We’ll have several varieties of herb butter to taste.  We’ll even have the recipes for you to take home.

There is always so much preparation that goes into any type of social event.  Let us reduce your stress level by assisting with your outside decorating.  Our talented staff will create eye-popping flower containers that will amaze and impress your guests.  Just give us a call at 608-222-2269 to arrange a time to meet with our designer.  America’s Best Flowers will create that perfect look for your special event.
