The Fall Garden has been in the ground since 8/29/2014 and is ready for it first frost (maybe this weekend!). We have 372 items out there, mainly pansies and viola that we will over winter and do final ratings in April.
One series that is standing out right now have been the Cool Wave series. Cool Wave Frost, Violet Wing, Golden Yellow and Lemon Surprise are the strongest of the series.

In honor of Halloween a look at Orange Pansies! Orange has been one of the toughest color to find a plant that does good in the pack and the garden (Sim may retire if he finds the perfect Orange Pansy). Right now the best looking one in the garden is Syngenta Mariposa Orange with it's nice habit and strong flowering.
Wondering about that Cement Truck in the first picture? We are redoing the wall along the parking lot side. The brick wall was always challenging and has collapsed 3 times (thank goodness never on someone or before an open house!). We are getting a new concrete retaining wall to hold back the parking lot!
