Here’s a great gift idea for Mother’s Day. Look around your house and find some of Mom’s old favourite planter boxes, containers or objects. Anything that would hold soil like an old rubber boot or terra cotta pot. Bring them to Rice Road Greenhouses and take advantage of our new “Do-It- Yourself Department” where you can PLANT YOUR OWN POTS & CONTAINERS. We have Niagara’s largest selection of plants, so you’re sure to find Mom’s favourite. Best of all, you can do all your potting at Rice Road Greenhouses without all the hassle and mess of potting at home. Fill your containers with our bulk soiless mix or purchase soil with water holding crystals. We also have hundreds of new containers that you can purchase from our garden centre. Create wonderful and colourful potted arrangements for Mom. She’ll love the effort while enjoying your gift all season long. And remember, this isn’t just for Mom. It’s O.K. to do all your own potting for yourself as well. Some plants to consider for your containers are osteosperum and mimulus which do very well in the sun or perhaps streptocarpella with it’s vibrant blue flowers that are great for the shade. Top up your pots with Smartcote fertilizer which will release each time you water, lasting for the entire season.
something old, something new, something
