As I write this, it’s the beginning of February. Happy New Year everybody!
Before you know it the hellebores will be flowering!
This is what I wish for in 2022:
I hope for a beautiful (and long) spring season that will lift spirits and begin to reconnect everyone to their gardens
I look forward to all the bulbs I planted this past fall emerging vigorously in the spring and being amazing
I long for a local supplier like Bill Kolvek Perennials or Saw Mill River Nursery again. Some of the best gardens I’ve installed were with plants from those two places. Why? Their knowledge and expertise was second to none, and the plants they sold were interesting and healthy and properly taken care of. They were close enough to me that I could go there regularly even during the busiest times. They were wholesale suppliers so the prices were right. You could learn something new every time you went there. They were hands-on. And there were no ‘Green Giant’ arborvitaes to be seen! But probably I’m just getting old and sentimental.
I want everyone to stay healthy.
I wish, wish. wish I lived near Northwind Perennial Farm! Do I have to move to Wisconsin to find a local nursery?
