The Gardens of Fanshawe College

By Katlyn Vanderweyden

        The week of July 2^nd to 4^th was a short one but I’m not complaining. We had three solid days of fun removing weeds down at Z building, pruning and parking lot cleanup but the dream team strikes again. We managed to remove all those pesky perennial weeds (they keep putting up a fight) but Z building look beautiful again.

        Meanwhile, on main campus; Hilary was working hard on the College's interiorscape adding plants to the current planters to give them a little upgrade and bringing a little more fullness to them. 

 

Jeff has been in the greenhouse shutting it down and is ready to disinfect it in preparation for our poinsettia crop. 

While we wait for them we are currently growing our summer crop of chrysanthemums. We are growing them on outside in a pot in pot growing system which is very efficient.

 

       Keep poseted to our blog and come on by to check them out in a month at the Spriet Family Greenhouse when they will be ready for sale! 

So this concludes another short but sweet week at Fanshawe College..... until next time my friends.
