Laughing Swan gears up for the year.

The greenhouse is overflowing with new exciting plants doing what they do best, growing.
This year we have some new groundcovers that are so pretty to look at.
Our ornamental grasses are coming along with both mature plants from last year and lots of new varieties.
The perennials this year include lots of new types and many we have not carried before.
The Kamloops farmers market is only five weeks away, so we have lots to do to be ready for that.
Visit us at http://www.laughingswanfarm.com/ and start making your list.

This year is going to be so... exciting.

This year we are growing some interesting new grasses from the tall-grass prairie: Melica, big bluestem, sweet grass, Indian grass, and others.
Also, in our perennial lineup we have some wonderful new Echinacea varieties that are so colourful it will amaze you, and perhaps make you wonder whether you should forgo the annuals and just put in more perennials! 
We also have many different varieties of Lavender, rated for zone 5, (down on the river is zone 6, and up in Aberdeen it's a zone 4).
We take great care in selecting plants and grasses that will do well in our environment because we want you to be happy with your plantings, and know that if we sell it, in will thrive here.
Come and visit us at the Kamloops Farmers Market, starting on Saturday  April 23rd  2011, 8 to 12 noon.

As you sow, so shall.........

Shirley is busy sowing seeds of all varieties. It's amazing how such minute seeds have so much life packed into them. All the seed trays are now under grow lights and things are popping up all over. We have bulbs thinking it's May, Narsissus and Tulips  are 4" high already. It's 10 degrees in the greenhouse during the day which switchs on many plants growing cycles.
The website is almost ready, the usual hurdles that accompany website publication.
Happy planting, from us at "Laughing Swan Farm"
