There is so much to experience and learn from this place. I will be making another visit to this greenhouse as the season progresses. I posted a lot of pictures. (to get a better look, I encourage you to click on the pictures to see a larger version) It is hard to place into words how happy I was finding a place like this. It is a gem for the gardener at heart. A diamond in the rough.

This is not your ordinary greenhouse. We were surprised by a colorful peacock walking across the gravel driveway.

We parked and we were quickly greeted by two very friendly greeters, that were happy to see us. I think if I would have let them, they would have planted a few very wet kisses on me.

As we enter the main greenhouse, again we are greeted by some very colorful greeters. I am sure they feel like they have to compete with all the color these plastic walls contain. A feast for the eye, as well as the soul.

They have a very extensive collection of colorful succulents. A wide selection of miniature plants and bloomers for Faerie Gardens or small spaces.



I think I just found a new hobby, for the long cold winter months here. I have had a doll house in my attic for many many years. I think I just may have to get it out and use it for part of a display. But instead of focusing on the miniatures inside the dollhouse I will focus on the outside. Better yet, maybe I can turn it into my own miniature dream house with a greenhouse.
