Garden Club Field Trip

Garden Club Field Trip

to

Coweta Greenhouses, Inc.

Newnan, Georgia

The Pine Ride Garden Club located in Macon, Georgia conducted a Field Trip to Coweta Greenhouses, Inc. which is located just South of Newnan, Georgia to see first hand how a commercial grower grows and ships plants.  It was a very interesting and educational opportunity to see first hand all the steps involved in growing and also shipping the lovely flowers we all appreciate when we visit our local food markets.  While I cannot disclose who Coweta Greenhouses, Inc. ships to you can send me an E-Mail at:

alanmaconga@cox.net

to learn of the Food Chain that sells the flowers grown by Coweta Greenhouses, Inc.

The flowers were lovely and I will not post any comments on the majority of the pictures.  Enjoy the beauty.  If your Garden Club would like to visit this organization their phone number is:  (770) 251-3040.

One of the benefits of Gardening is to be able to capture the pictures of the beauty that surrounds us when the blooms are at their peak. 

Flower Arrangements

 

Flower Arrangements for

Enjoyment

 

Today I share several arrangements that may be suitable for Church Displays and the many color combinations that were used to make these arrangements.  Most of these arrangements contained a majority of cut flowers that were available in Middle Georgia from the flower vendors.

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed!!!

Feed The Birds

and also

Appreciate Our Wildlife

 

 The above bird feeder picture is included to show a product that is available to feed the birds and to also prevent the squirrels from eating all the food.  When a bird wants to eat they place themselves on the perch, however when a squirrel gets on the perch they are heavy enough to cause the grid to slip down and prevent them from having access to the bird seed.  I have found this type of feeder to be most effective.
