Poinsettia Greenhouse Tours and they are Free. November 21 & 22


We will be taking tours through our greenhouses full of poinsettias.We'll tell you all about how we start the poinsettias, grow them and make them come into bloom at just the right time.
Did you know that tiny almost invisible beneficial wasps keep our poinsettias free of whiteflies? Maybe we can see some, but they are very tiny ....

The tours will be at 11:00 am , 1:30 and 3:00 pm on both Satuday and Sunday.

Debbie Johnson will be making poinsettia and other arrangements while she shares ideas with you.

You can make your own or buy ready to go.
We'll have hot mulled cider and I'll make some Swedish Pepparkakor cookies.

Tell your friends, come yourselves.

Families that Dig together have more fun!
See all the Pansy pictures
According to an independent, un-biased survey, families that dig pansies together are happier and more successful. Children do better in school and adults report an average weight loss of 4 ounces. Oh yes, it helps cure baldness, improves your memory and many other unproven results. Pretty impressive..huh?

Advice on becoming a really good Pansy Grower

The Lima Bean cook off Week End was a great success. September 25, 26 and 27th a the Heritage Museum, 450 Quail Gardens Rd. encinitas, Ca 92024
We had 22 different LIma Bean dishes ..all of them super delicious. The Blue Potato salad with Lima Beans was one of the big winners. Encinitas Rotary got the people's choice with the Barbequed Lima Beans. I loved the Herbed Lima Bean soup and the Lima Bean Croutons

You can always email us or phone during weekdays and talk to someone. [closed Tuesdays] Our phone number at the nursery is 760 436 2194 ...
Our actual address is 695 Normandy Rd. Encinitas, CA 92024
When you call and don't get an answer or get a message, here's why.
Sometimes we are where we don't hear the phone, sometimes two of the three lines are busy and the phone rolls to the third line. Can't put an answering machine message on that line and we keep resisting one of those annoying "your call is important to us" set ups. Even if you don't get an answer keep trying the 760 436 2194 number and you'll get us eventually.
Quick driving instructions... Interstate 5 between Leucadia and La Costa exits---We are on the corner of Piraeus and Normandy.[ 695 Normandy] on the east side of the freeway. Piraeus is the name of the frontage road. It only goes between those two exits. Map
