Backyard Wow

Do you love your outdoor space?  We spend a lot of time making our lawns and gardens exactly the way that we want them.  However, when all that hard work is done, you need a space to sit back and enjoy it.  We eat, lounge, socialize and even work in these spaces, but the design is often left as an afterthought.  It’s time to rethink the patio and discover how a few accessories can transform your space into an extension of your home!

Home Grown: Cold Hardy Crops

Home Grown: Cold Hardy Crops

It’s time to get growing!  If you’re like us, that sunshine and warm spring weather make us a little antsy to get outdoors and begin planting.  Although it’s still too early for annuals and most vegetables, there are a few crops that prefer cooler temperatures.  For annuals, pansies continue to be a spring favourite.  However, if you are wanting an edible garden; there are a lot of options available. In fact, now is the perfect time to plant fruit trees, raspberry and blueberry bushes, and cold-hardy vegetables.

Spring Bulbs

Spring Bulbs

Bulbs can be used in nearly any garden or patio setting, giving you flowers, fragrance and brilliant colour with just a little effort. You will be amazed at what will grow from these little brown bulbs. Bigger is better when choosing tubers, corms or rhizomes. Energy for the initial spurt of Spring growth is stored in the bulb or tuber, so a larger bulb means more stored energy and a stronger, healthier plant.
