With Donna Biggar
More Verbena!
Verbena has always been a favourite to gardeners because of its hardiness to wind and its beautiful nonstop blooms. This year in the garden centre you’ll find new and hardier varieties like ‘Tamara Patio’ and ‘Tamara Trailing’.
Better Begonias!
People have always had to be careful with begonias, they are as fragile as they are beautiful. However, that’s all beginning to change. This year’s begonias are not only hardier and more sun resistant, but come in more vibrant colours than ever before. One of our favourite Begonia is the ‘Golden Picotee’.
New Petunias!
We love Petunias here in Alberta. They are a drought resistant and hardy annual for our sometimes unpredictable climate. So we are happy to introduce new petunias to our greenhouse including the marvellous cascading ‘Violet Skirt’ Petunia.
Patio Gardening
So good you could eat it...
Nothing makes a patio more calming than fresh fruit and vegetables or the enchanting scent of real herbs. Try adding small gardens or vegetables containers to your outdoor oasis. If you are looking for something relaxing and delicious try strawberry hanging baskets or herb containers full of mint and lavender. Always be careful that you are choosing your plants according to the amount of sunlight on your patio.
Just another room...
Patio furniture selection has definitely increased and they’re not only durable and comfortable but increasingly more trendy. Also, take advantage of adding decorative accents, water features, wall art, candles and other home decor concepts, making your patio a beautiful extension of your own home!
