Interfaith Senior Program Festival of Flowers

Thank you to the over 200 people who attended the Festival of Flowers on Wednesday to benefit Interfaith Senior Programs. There was a delightful lunch and fun/informative bulb planting demonstration by Marty. We hope you had a great time with your friends and learned some new flower tips at Waukesha Floral.

Waukesha Floral salutes all the great senior volunteers who help in ways big and small throughout our community. We are grateful for your service!

Primrose

Primrose are pretty as potted plants and are one of the harbingers of Spring in the greenhouse. They sport delicate pastel colored petals on slim stems and like to be watered quite often. These plants are some of the first to bloom outside in this area, even before the bulb plants.

Speaking of the greenhouse, we have just begun to plant the tiny seedlings of summer beauty in our back greenhouse this week. Begonia, geraniums, coleus, petunias... they will all be ready before we know it!
