As the Landscape Forms! (Part 2)

A completed John Skillin Garden by Sally Bolstridge:



In a previous post As the Landscape Forms! (Part 1) , we showed you the first steps in preparation for our large landscape display for our Falmouth Open House which of course is this Friday, Saturday and Sunday Feb 16, 17, and 18 at Skillin's Falmouth. The next few frames shows this exciting project as we have brought in the plants and now Tim Bate our Nursery Manager gets to place the plants. It is pretty neat to see the landscape come together.


Come see the finished product this weekend. What a taste of Spring!


Also, special thanks to the crew of Skillin's Brunswick for "forcing" the shrubs and trees into bud and bloom. And of course special thanks to Margie of Skillin's Falmouth for her awesome photo work!


In the following frame, the plants have arrived and Tim is pondering the many possibilities!



Tim is a man of thought--and action as he gets to work putting mulch over this flowering crab.




Oh boy! Inspection time for Tim as Terry Skillin has arrived on the scene. Please examine the photo carefully as you can see that every inspector needs a cup of coffee!



You can already see this landscape will have much variety and texture!



Spring Bonds! Pay $37.50 for a $50 Spring Bond; a savings of 25% toward any tree or shrub that we sell--and more! For a $500 landscape our Spring Bonds can save you $125!





A great job not done yet but it is really taking shape!




Come see the finished product this weekend! Feb 16, 17 & 18!
