Where Have You Been???


My apologies for being so weak at posting. I think its called the August burn-out time! We all go so hard through the season, and as it starts to slow down a bit, you find yourself coming home in the evenings and not wanting to do anything but watch some crazy reality show. Or maybe that's just me?!??!

As we head into my favorite season of fall, I'm noticing some of the leaves on the shrubs and trees starting to turn color. I'm also enjoying the Black-eyed Susans and the Autumn Joy Sedum starting to showcase their color. I love the colors of fall! Got our first shipment of fall Mums in this past week and they are stunning - next week will be Kale, fall Lilies and Sedum - it should be a great week.

Last Wednesday we finally made it out to a home in the NW, where seven of us planted up a backyard for a family that just lost their young father. A good time was had by all, and thanks to our hosts, who kindly provided beverages for the evening. The picture is a good one - thanks you guys for helping me out!

A group of us are headed to Edmonton this week to a gift show, and also to take a look at some garden centres up there. Pat and Kathie are gearing up for our Christmas giftware shipments - can't believe we are at that point already - one season seems to just roll into the next. September will see us all head off to Vancouver to the CanWest Show and also tour some of our nurseries out there, so it will be a busy once again preparing to place orders for next season.
