Autumn Plant Sale in Shipka

[permaship]

Hello friends and hope you are enjoying the Autumn

I am writing to let you know that on the 24th & 25th of November we are having a plant sale and welcome you to visit our garden nursery in Shipka and take a few homegrown plants back to your own gardens. You can view the plants we have by clicking here  and if you see some you like contact us with your order, the date you will be visiting and we will prepare your plants to be ready for collection. We will be open from 10.00 - 16.00 on the 24/25th of November and will be happy to show you around the garden and answer any questions you may have .  We will also have seeds of unusual species for swapping so please bring along some of  your own.

Why have a plant sale at this time of year when it's cold and the garden is mostly dormant ?  Autumn is the optimum time for planting perennial plants.  When the plant is put into the ground in the autumn, although the conditions are cold above ground, the soil is normally warm enough for root growth below the ground to continue until late December. This gives the plant roots time to settle in and be fully prepared for reawakened growth in the spring.

Looking forward to hear from you and wishing you all the best  

Cheers 

Paul

Hey Paul and everyone, sounds great :) We won't make the sale as we're heading off to NZ, but keen on seeing what you have in early spring. Does anyone know of anybody who might be travelling from Kazanlak area or Stara Zagora through to Sofia this week? I have some garlic and chutney to deliver to Hrankoop and would be great to hook up if anybody will be passing through.

Many thanks,

Jo

What made us give up life as we knew it and move to a horse'n cart village in Bulgaria? What will happen next? How are we building a more sustainable life and trying not to go bonkers? What kind of future will there be for our girls?
