A trip to the Greenhouse

Every Spring we visit a huge greenhouse in our area. It's well known and people come from all over the state to shop there.  They have 8 acres under glass, and so many plants!  There are flowers, trees, shrubs, vegetables, gardening supplies and decorative items for your yard and garden.
We usually wait till after Mother's Day to visit, because it gets so busy there is no place to park!
Here's a few pictures to show you what it looks like.

This is the front of the building, but it doesn't begin to show the size.

Here is a picture from their website that shows it from above.  You can see the red entry building in the center, with all the greenhouses behind it.

When you get inside, you can't see from one side to another - just lots of plants!

We added things to our cart as we walked around.

Here's our purchases setting on our porch ready for planting the next day, flowers, hosta, ferns, tomatoes, green pepper, rosemary and basil.

Here's a few pics of other things that are blooming in our yard right now.

Dwarf lilacs, almost ready to bloom.

Snowball bush

And Alliums - a round purple globe that looks like something from Dr Seuss and is such a fun addition to the garden.

It's a fun time of the year to see things grow up change.  Also, Bob is always planting and moving things so it's never the same. This won't be our last trip to the greenhouse this summer!
