March 8, 2012

We don't know about you, but it's our favorite time of the year and we think it's worth celebrating. This Saturday, March 10th from 10 to 4, join us for Kerby's annual Spring Fling. Daisies, agastaches and salvias are putting on a show just hoping to become a part of your garden (See below for some of the cool flowers we've found this year.) And to sweeten the deal we'll have cotton candy, popcorn and lemonade so that you can enjoy a snack while strolling the boardwalk. It's a beautiful time of year, so come out and join us. You will be sure to Discover the Fun of Gardening.

 

Happy Gardening,
Kim, Joey and Mark

New Spring Flowers

A flower is worth a thousand words, so we'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Come out to Kerby's to see them in person to really appreciate how beautiful they are.

 
Wendy's Wish Salvia, a butterfly magnet.
 
White Spoon African Daisies just look cool!
 
You have to touch the strawflower . . . it's crunchy.
 
Agastache is in the mint family, so not only are its flowers beautiful, the leaves have a delightful fragrance.
 
The foxglove is always a spring favorite.
 
This is cool - a red shrimp tree.

Workshop: Growing Delicious Herbs
Saturday, March 24 at 10am

We all love food. And we love food even more when it's cooked with tasty herbs.  Growing your own herb garden is easy and it is a great way to always have fresh herbs for all of your favorite recipes. Come to this workshop to learn all about growing herbs and what herbs can be used for.

 

 

 

 

Workshop: Fruit Trees for Small Spaces
Saturday, March 31st at 10:00 am

Juicy and delicious, there is nothing like picking fruit from a tree you've grown and eating it on the spot. But not everyone has a huge yard with room for an orchard. At this fruit tree workshop we'll focus on some new dwarf varieties of fruit trees that are great for your yard, and talk about how to keep trees smaller when space is limited.

Bring your Easter basket and get ready for a whole lot of fun . . . it's the 3rd annual Easter Egg Hunt at Kerby's. Starting right at 10:00am, be ready to hunt and see how many Easter Eggs you can find hidden among the beautiful flowers.
