List of Upcoming Spring Plant Sales in Council Bluffs, IA
I’ve tried to collect a list of all local plant sales coming up this spring. If you have another one, please mention it in the comments!
Hellebores or Lenten Roses
Hellebores or Lenten Roses are an exciting new flower for me. I suppose someday I’ll have discovered everything but not yet! Their gorgeous color palettes offer a magical secret display when other plants aren’t blooming.
Master Bathroom Details
We purchased a house late last year and moved in around the first of the year. One of my favorite rooms in the new house is our master bathroom with wood floors, a clawfoot tub, huge shower and two big windows.
Spring on the Farm
Spring has fully arrived here on our farm. The weather has been unbelievable the last few weeks and we have all spent as much time as possible outside.
Declaration of Love: Tulips
Last night I went to visit the tulip patch that I planted last fall at our old house. The lush green leaves mixed with the bright reds and pinks makes for quite a sight!
Rebirth and New Beginnings: Daffodils
Daffodils, or narcissus, symbolize rebirth and new beginnings. Perfectly timed with the first few nice days of Spring, its easy to see how they represent a new beginning.
Snapping Turtle
We found this little guy walking through one of our outbuildings on the farm. We have a pond and I assume he was out doing a little exploring.
Dividing Dahlia Clumps in Spring
Last year I dug up my 175+ dahlias and stored them over the winter. This is what they look like now in April.
Making Seedballs for Milkweed Matters
On Saturday, April 1, the West Pottawattamie Master Gardeners teamed up with Nancy Crews (a Mills County Master Gardener) to make over 1,300 seedballs for Milkweed Matters.
