In the News - Spring 2011

Spring is here – well sort of. With the weather we have been having lately it is kind of hard to figure out what the heck is going on. The forsythia and daffodils have bloomed already and my tulips are on their way (hopefully the warm weather will come as well). Wow was that a long winter –I am so glad spring is here.

Last week was the Boise Flower and Garden Show, it was so nice to see so many past clients and meet some new people. I hope everyone had fun. Sterling Landscape did an awesome job with the main exhibit and I think the show was a huge success again. It was a great way to start the spring rush, and to see all the new plants and displays. I would like to thank Sterling Landscape on their help with our booth this year!

In our spring issue we are going to talk about one of the more popular trends over the last couple of years, outdoor kitchens. We will also talk about adding landscape boulders as a hardscape item in your yard. It is spring, so it is the perfect time to discuss one of my favorite spring plants the Pink Dawn Viburnum. In our project spot light we will review the Talavera residence, which details a large outdoor patio and entertainment area. In our Nursery Spotlight we will highlight one the valleys unique Nurseries – Greenhurst Nursery in Nampa. I hope you sit back and enjoy the spring issue of “Sense of Place”.
