The year 2012 is our 9th year having our own greenhouses and growing and designing our very own flower baskets and potted arrangements.  We take great pride in creating our very own unique arrangements and giving the plants lots of TLC!

Please come see us during the Mother's Day and Memorial Day holiday (or earlier, as lots of folks do!) for the largest selection of beautiful begonias, petunias, impatiens, mandevillas, geraniums, and so many other varieties for both hot sun and cool shade. We also enjoy experimenting with the newest of varieties that become available annually.  New varieties that give us great performance and the high quality we are looking for will then become a regular for us to have available here at Country Bumpkin, so that YOU TOO, will have great success with your flowers!   "YOU CAN GROW THAT!!" 

We are open for our new season April 27, 2012, and we are happy to hold any flower baskets you would like for your summer decorating or gift giving.  Just have us place a tag with your name on the basket, and while the weather is still too cool outside, we will continue to nurture your flowers until you feel comfortable to have them at your home.  We hold a lot of baskets for lots of folks and are happy to provide this service.  We will also save your favorite 3" and 4" transplants that you choose for making your own arrangements!

We take pride in raising healthy plants and arranging them in true-to-size 10-inch, 12-inch, and new this year, 16-inch baskets, 16-inch or larger flower pots, and 16-inch or larger Austrum coconut designer baskets.   The more soil a basket holds, the longer the life of your flowers. 

Another service we provide is replanting decorative flower baskets and pots, and coconut baskets.  These are expensive containers that can easily have a 5-year life or longer, so why buy new when these only need new fresh soil, fertilizer, and plants?  We can even store your containers in our greenhouses over the winter so they are ready for us to replant in March.

During the months of March and April is when we complete all our greenhouse planting.  So, when our flower baskets and arrangements are sold and gone, they are gone until next year.  

Some tips for healthy flowers :

Always water your flowers daily for optimum beauty and long life, and fertilize monthly.  We do add osmocote slow-release fertilizer to all our containers along with soil -moist pellets to hold water between waterings, but a little extra fertilizer will give your plants the edge to still look good all through September and into October.  Watering daily or twice a day when it is extremely hot will save them from becoming stressed, which is a shock to their systems.
