Thank you to all of you who selected some of our Coleus varieties for 2027. If you that was difficult, take a look at some of the Petunia/Calibrachoa varieties we liked! You are welcome to put in your two cents worth! We would love to see what you are attracted to!

Matt and I went to the Proven Winners greenhouses in Carleton, Mi. The plants were displayed in a beautiful garden setting.

Look at all the coleus at Mast Young Plants! These are the varieties that I liked. This is only about a third of what they carry. I wish we could have them all but……we don’t have enough space to grow them. Which varieties are your GOTTA have’s! Let us know!

Today, Matt and I are starting our Michigan Trial Garden Tour. We arrived at Mast Young Plants this afternoon. We looked through one huge garden area, which took quite a while. I thought we were done. Then Matt said are you ready to look at the lower garden?

Matt surprised me a while back by creating a nice sitting area in the back yard. I wanted you to notice there is only one plant, a Supertunia , in each pot! Just one plant can be very striking and it can go so much longer without watering! Emerson, worked on sanding and staining the deck. He also did a little landscaping around the deck with pavers, boxwood shrubs, and stone. Thanks Matt and Emer for making our new old home feel special!
