WE RECYCLE!

If you have any one or two gallon black nursery planters from plant purchases last year feel free to drop them by. You can leave them by the nursery fence.

I will be creating a drop station this year.

This is a great way to help us keep prices low, and also to reduce what is going into our landfills.

Wonderful Water Lilies


I came home yesterday to a number of blooms on the water lilies in the display pond. One of my favorites, Colorado, is shown here--it is a salmon color.

I went through and fertilized all of the plants in the pond this weekend. Some plants like Water lilies and Lotus want to be fertilized monthly during their growing season. The reason for this is they expend a great deal of energy opening and closing their flowers and putting up new leaves. Their flowers last about three days and leaves about three weeks, but they are constantly putting up more. When I fertilize I pinch off all the old growth so the debri isn't breaking down in the pond.

In addition to the Colorado we cary 23 other hardy Water Lilies at Finch Family Water Garden.
