Hello to All of Our Gardening Friends

The Greenhouse Effect. It’s not always a bad thing-if you are actually in a greenhouse in the winter, it can be downright pleasant. The sun shines, heat is trapped in the greenhouse, and it can be practically balmy inside, even when it’s cold outside. That’s why we are featuring our houseplants this month; shopping for foliage and blooming plants in a real greenhouse this time of the year can jumpstart your endorphins and reduce the winter-is-here, short-day blues.

If satisfying your senses isn’t enough incentive, then see the attached ad for additional financial incentives to stop by and adopt a houseplant.

Our Lecture Series Continues:

These talks will be given at 1:00 Saturday, at our Beltsville garden center. The lectures are free: we’d like you to call and register so that we can better judge how many handouts to prepare.  301-937-1100
