My season at Yard n' Garden Land has not started yet but I did work yesterday to help out in anticipation of a busy day. Nice weather was predicted and there were a lot of customers who were attending a rose seminar.
The greenhouse was beautiful (Kellie does such a great job with displays) and seeing all the colors and blooms gives a great energy boost this time of year.
One entire side of the greenhouse is roses although they will be moved outside in a few weeks. This photo was taken before the rose seminar was over and lots were sold following that -
There are many new pots and I'm told that more are on the way. Hopefully, more bird baths and water features too -
So many camellias! This is 'Yume' and I wish I had a spot for this one. It is gorgeous! -
And many hellebores as well -
And, if there was room, I would plant a paperbush (Edgeworthia) -
And stepping outside to the trees and shrubs, the area where I work -

Beautiful nursery. I'd have trouble working there--I'd be one of their best customers!
ReplyDeleteYou are so fortunate to work a nursery, especially one as nice as this. Had this been my career I'd have a hard time retiring.
ReplyDeleteMaybe now that your garden is 'full', you'd get to keep some of your paycheck :-D

That nursery has more jewels waiting for new homes than my local SoCal garden center but then the latter doesn't have a greenhouse (and the cold temperatures are back).
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful nursery, everything looks wonderful! I can only imagine the daily temptation to bring plants home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is so exciting to see all of the color! It appears that they will have a successful season.
