| We’re being told to expect a 6″ snow dump on Saturday…not exactly what we wanted for our flower shop’s 2022 opening weekend! That’s ok – we’re just going to push the opening back a little. So our new OPENING DAY IS FRIDAY, MARCH 18! The bright side of the date change is that you can expect even more flowers – tulips, willows, forced potted spring flowers, and more! |
Tulips are THIS Close
| All these pictures were taken in our greenhouse THIS WEEK! That means that with sunny days and warmer weather forecast for next week, we’re hoping to have our flower shop loaded up and even to send out the first pre-order list of the season! |
| Oh…and did someone say WILLOWS? We’ve been cutting hard and will have four big, beautiful varieties coming soon! |
Bulbadome Update!
| With a fresh concrete floor poured, it was time to focus on environmental controls this week. Luke and Phil installed a big sliding double door, hung the exhaust fan, and cut holes in the metal sidewalls for air-intake louvres. This is so cool air will move through the house on sunny days, and it’s all therrmostatically controlled to maintain the ideal temperature range. Once the wiring was finished, we were able to move plants in! Crates of tulips were wheeled right out of the cold storage side of the building and into the greenhouse side – THIS is what the Bulbodome is all about. Cool, right? |

| We’ll be mailing CSA cards out this week to those of you who have already signed up. In the packet will be instructions on how to use your card online or in-person at our Hillsdale flower shop. If you haven’t joined already, there’s still time to sign up! |
