(This picture in Molesworth Street was taken just a few days before going to press - pretty amazing to be looking so good at this time of the year too!) And the Display goes  on around the corner!

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:31:00 UTC http://www.blooming-baskets.com/Blog/2009/11/18/mrs-sheenagh-gebhard-client-feedback/ Hi Alison, It must be nearly time to talk to you about our summer baskets – the only problem being our winter ones are still simply stupendous!! Thank you, thank you and once again we thank you!  They have been much commented upon and much admired and no, honestly I never took the credit but sung your praises all the way.  So because the ivy in all of the baskets, hayricks and wire trough are in such robust and good condition I have a proposition to make.  Before we found your good services I always prided myself on the standard of those I planted myself – but like you say they were past their best by August.  So I was wondering if we could order the begonias, fuchsias, trailing geraniums and whatever else you would dress these containers with and let me plant them amongst the ivy’s?  I’m not looking for any colour scheme simply a riot of colour.  In addition to these plants (if you are agreed that we can do this) I’d like to order some of the large plastic and wooden boxes and barrels, final numbers yet to be decided but ordered before the end of the weekend.   I look forward to hearing your comments, Yours sincerely, Mrs. Sheenagh Gebhard P.S. We didn’t actually take specific photos of the plants last summer, but attached make a beautiful back drop to my puppies! .... Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:42:00 UTC
