Opening Soon

I hope this post finds everyone healthy and well despite the challenges life is throwing our way. Howard, Jody and I (Jeff) wanted to let you all know that Frizzhome Gardens is an essential business and will be here for you in 2020. We have decided to push our official opening back to Saturday, April 11th, but we will be open every day of the week starting then from 9:00 AM until 7:00 PM except Sundays when we will be open 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM. If people want to show up earlier than 9:00 AM in order to avoid any potential crowds, we encourage you to do so. Howard is always down at the greenhouses by 7:30 at the latest. If you would like to come before we officially open for the season, feel free! Please just bring cash or a check as our credit card machine will not be up an running until we officially open. Some customers have started trickling in and it makes us incredibly happy to see everyone again. See you soon!

Hanging Basket Fun

We had such a fun day at Frizzhome Gardens today. We spent the day making hundreds of combinations for hanging pots out of petunias, calibrachoas, scaevola, bacopa, nemesia, petchoa, lobularia and more! I will save you some time and only put a couple of the pictures I took today, haha.

Specimen Plants in Small Containers with Aaron Kinne

The workshop will be held at Frizzhome Gardens on February 10th and will go from approximately 2:00-3:30 PM. The cost for the workshop is twenty-eight dollars plus cost of the plants. Payment will be accepted at the workshop, cash or check only please.

Aaron Kinne graduated from UNH Manchester in 2013, joining the Master Gardener Program soon after. From 2013 onward, they have been doing regular plant talks at schools, churches, and gardening clubs on a variety of topics. As a botanist, they focus mainly on genera from tropical and arid climates, and have an extensive collection of species from all over the world. They currently live in Manchester, NH, where they manage a specialty gardening store on the West Side.

-Aaron will discuss basic botany, mixed with a hands-on exercise
on how to best display your plants while keeping them in a healthy environment.

-Aaron will cover using different plant morphologies to one’s benefit, taking into account the kinds of root systems, types of life cycles, mature size, growth habit and more.

-Aaron will discuss the misconceptions surrounding certain types of plants including bonsai, succulents and cacti.

-You will learn how to create a planter for the home environment, taking dryness and lighting into consideration.

-Aesthetics and learning to think ahead on which plants will work well together as they mature will also be discussed.

Containers will consist of shallow pots or saucers (2-3″ deep) and wood pieces that your garden can be mounted to. These will be true pieces of art. You are welcome to bring any shallow pot, rock or unique pieces of driftwood that you would like to be incorporated.
