Fernlea Flowers: growing with a passion for plants

摘要

The company also recognizes the need to de-mystify gardening for self-declared brown thumbs. It's a dirty business at times, but only the kind that gets under your fingernails, Fernlea Flowers has sustained their passion for flowers, plants, and all the dirt that goes with them since 1939, Based in Delhi, Ontario, this family-owned business has made a name for itself in recent years with the introduction of its exclusive Icicle~(R) Pansies. But the blueprint for Icicle Pansies came from a kind of company mantra: search the world for great plants to bring home. Owners Virginia and Joe Howe have been doing exactly that for years Whether it's the English countryside or the mountains of Italy, they travel the world with a keen sense akin to a designer searching for fabrics or an art aficionado hunting for rare works. Many years ago, several journeys inspired them to bring a winter pansy to the northern U.S. and Canada.
