CONTAINER GARDENING 11 FLOORS UP

GARDEN JOURNAL

Class 14

February 28, 2010 – 10:31 pm
Share

The 100-mile garden was the discussion topic today brought to us by the nice folks at Bow Point Nursery and ALCLA Native Plant Restoration. Native woodies and perennials – all grown from regional seed sources. Both of these nurseries provide contract growing and Native Plants Restoration also plants, seeds and manages the planted areas.

A gentle melt has started on the prairies, but we all know it’s just a tease. The true sign of spring though is the return of the Canada Geese. A couple of pairs are active every morning around our condo building. And at the zoo, where I think they may not have left over the winter, they are noisy, steadily flying over the area and quite indignant when they land on building roofs. Everyone is starting to get a bit restless.
