When I say "Mother" what images and thoughts are popping up in your mind? Here's a photo of my lovely Mum...
How has your Mum influenced who you are today? What sort of things did your Mum teach you?

What are you doing for Mum on Sunday?  If your mum  lives in Thunder Bay, but you don't, you can call us at 1-807-475-3551 or toll-free within Canada to order a Gift to be delivered to her. 


A vase of Fresh Flowers is always a nice Gift.

Willow trees and Golden Retrievers



Willow trees, the first ones to get their leaves in the Spring...and the last ones to lose their leaves.




Look at those fat buds, getting ready to burst into leaf.





Benji the Golden had just been washed and groomed. He went out for 5 minutes and rolled in a patch of spilled motor oil. Needless to say, we were not impressed with His Smelliness.

Which is where the Sheep come into the picture, I threatened to replace him with the sheep.





Here is the culprit , busy trying to talk his way out of it!!

Spring Home and Garden Show, 2012, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, On


We've been busy making up product for the Garden show. We are so excited about Spring, we wet our plants!! The recent warm weather has helped open up the buds.

Lost of work preparing for Trade shows.

We especially remember today, our Uncle Albert whom we lost yesterday. I would bug him to get me hydrangea blossoms from a certain house which his family used to own. He was always upbeat, and never once said..I don't want to knock on strangers' doors asking for flowers!! We will miss your cheerful face.
