Hints of spring are beginning to emerge at The Mixed Border

The witch hazel is starting to bloom, giving us a bit of sunshine for the next few months as we prepare for the 2012 season.

Gift certificates and
garden consultations are
available year round

Gift certificates from The Mixed Border are the perfect Valentine's Day gift for the gardener in your life. Available in any denomination, they may be used for plant purchases in the nursery, garden design consultations, and landscape design and installation services.

"In winter's cold and sparkling snow,
The garden in my mind does grow.
I look outside to blinding white,
And see my tulips blooming bright.
And over there a sweet carnation,
Softly scents my imagination.

On this cold and freezing day,
The Russian sage does gently sway,
And miniature roses perfume the air,
I can see them blooming there.
Though days are short, my vision's clear.
And through the snow, the buds appear.

In my mind, clematis climbs,
And morning glories do entwine.
Woodland phlox and scarlet pinks,
Replace the frost, if I just blink.
My inner eye sees past the snow.
And in my mind, my garden grows."
    -Cynthia Adams, Winter Garden
