May 26, 2007 : Hanging Baskets for the Garden Entrance
Horticulturists carefully plant our popular hanging baskets.
Here are a few photos of Kevin and Jackie putting together hanging baskets. Kevin, Jackie and Ron (not in the photos) design them and then grow all the needed plants. The baskets will be at the Nursery for a few more weeks until they are filled out and looking fabulous. Then they'll be brought over to the garden where they will be placed along the entrance boardwalk. There is always a lot of excitement from visitors who are curious about the unusual plants and unique designs, so we do our best to have plant listings available and to answer questions.
Speaking of questions, the garden's Hortline is busy taking phone calls from gardeners who are looking for advice and inspiration. If you have a gardening question you can try 604.822.9666 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 12 pm and 3 pm to speak with staff and Friends of the Garden who are keen to help. And, as always, you can join the online discussion and post questions, photos or comments on the UBC Botanical Garden Forums by clicking here.
