Spring is a wonderful time of the year. I love Spring because it brings new life to the earth, a new begining of sorts. The problem here in Utah though, is that it doesn't last very long. It's almost as though we go from winter right into summer. I do however still enjoy what little spring time we get. I love to watch the bulbs sending their new growth up through the soil. I love to see the birds return, they bring back the beautiful songs thats music to my ears. The beautiful creations of Mother earth show their amazing colors and share a wonderful aroma that does the soul good.
I hope all of you can get excited about getting out in your yards and begin shaping things up. I would remind you, those of you who live close, that we have an awesome gardening class we are teaching every Tuesday night down at the Mapleton City Offices. Come join in in the many things we will be teaching. If anything, show up to the "Hands On In The Greenhouse" portion of the class. Go to www.mapleton.org and look in the "Parks and Recreation" section, it'll give you more info. I hope you have a wonderful spring, and don't forget where we are on South Hwy 89 on the very farthest part of Mapleton. We are directly across from all the white barns. If you don't see any white barns, you're at the wrong place. Keep going 1/2 mile more. After all, people know us as MAPLE MOUNTAIN GREENHOUSE & STRAWBERRY FARM. We have the tastiest Strawberry in Utah. Come see for yourselves. Don't drive off if you don't see the berries in the field, because we are growing them in the greenhouse this year. Hope to see you soon, and as always, "I'll see you in the greenhouse"

  1. When are the new classes going to be announced? We're new to the area ( just bought a house ) and are excited to start doing fabulous things with our new and partially unfinished landscape. We are also looking SOO forward to picking our own berries like I did every year growing up in Michigan. Love your column in the Foothill breeze!
