Lorraine Roberts from Plant Paradise
At our last meeting Lorraine Roberts from Plant Paradise shared how to plant perennials for continuous bloom throughout the season.
Her garden and nursery, Plant Paradise, is a organic perennial nursery on 24 acres in the Caledon Hills. They do not water their gardens and rely solely on the rain.
They choose perennials based on their hardiness and their length of bloom and this year they started 4000 plants from seed! They generously offer our members a 10% discount.
See this link for a great list of the different types of perennials:
