Calendar

Greenhouse Tulips - the greenhouse production is in a full swing. We spend each morning picking tulips before the sun has a chance to open them to much. We bunch them, put them in a protective sleeve, and put them in a cooler to chill after the warm greenhouse. Few hours later they are ready to be boxed, labeled and of they go to the final destination.

We usually have several varieties ready to be picked, so we always have supply of different colors and shapes .

Field tulips - sometime in March we will start picking the field tulips. Our earliest year started March 17th. The first varieties are always the Pink and Red Impressions. The field tulips are often larger and more robust than the greenhouse tulips, but perhaps not as perfect, being exposed to rain, wind, hail, etc.  I find the colors very vibrant and rich. We will keep picking into April.

After the field tulips are gone we’ll be back again in the greenhouse where we will bring chilled bulbs from  the coolers. Keeping the bulbs in a dark cooler fools them to think it is still winter and it is not time to bloom yet. When they are exposed to sun and warmth in the greenhouse they bloom quickly and give us beautiful flowers in May for Mother’s Day.

Daffodils - We have been picking them in our fields for  a couple  of weeks now. The field season starts with the typical yellow trumpet varieties, ends with the multi flowering, fragrant varieties. Perhaps the latest variety is the very fragrant , very pretty Geranium.

Tulip Patch - Early April is usually the very best time to enjoy the tulips.  This year the display field is located right by Grange Hall Rd, south of our store.

 

New this year - we will have a U-pick tulips available.

Strawberries - we  have been growing strawberries for the last 20 some years. This year we are growing Hoods and Shaksons, the ‘true’ Oregon varieties that are sooooo sweet. They are delicious, but the trade off is - they do not store. So, pick them in the morning, eat them in the evening.

We offer U-pick and We-pick.

Tulips - thanks to our forcing program in our greenhouses, we offer many tulip varieties in January. You can find tulips to purchase in our Store, or you can just pick up a phone and we’ll deliver them to you.

Daffodils - we also force early daffodils. What we have to offer are the cheerful yellow cup daffodils. They can cheer up anyone on the grayest of a January day.

Valentine’s Day is February 14th - the single busiest day of the year for a florist.

Roses are great, but ‘Two Lips’ are even better!

Tulips are gaining great popularity as a flower for Sweethearts everywhere. We are very busy providing the freshest flowers for this special holiday, our own grown or any other flower from around the world.

May is for Mother’s. Mother’s day is Sunday, May 9th.

Shower your Mom with flowers!

We deliver flowers from our shop in the whole Corvallis and Philomath area, or we can arrange for the flowers delivered anywhere in the world. Check our flowers on line catalog www.greengablegarden.com for selections, or give us a call for the best daily availability.

 

July is statistically the busiest wedding month of the year. We love our brides and have fun participating in their most beautiful day of their lives, making it even more beautiful.  There are very few things more pretty that a wedding bouquet.  We offer free bridal consultation,  come and talk to us about your dreams.

Our focus is still on weddings.

We deliver wedding flowers throughout  the whole Willamette Valley.  Check with us how far we can go.

Sometimes we are asked if we have ‘wedding packages’. Our answer is no. In the last almost 20 years we have never done two wedding flowers that were the same. Just as there are no two the same brides, there are no two the same weddings. Each is a combination of unique components. The outcome is always special.

The first pumpkins and winter squashes are ready. We grow more than 60 varieties. Many are delicious to eat, all of them are beautiful to look at.

 

Thanksgiving

Fall of the leaves tells us to go inside our homes, enjoy our family, read a book, decorate, and start cooking… We can help with the decorating part.  The autumn flowers are rich in colors and textures.  Gourds, fruits, berries, and branches are beautiful too.

Our wreaths are truly unique. Made from the abundant evergreens from our garden they are fragrant, richly textured, full and fluffy.  You can order them elegantly simple, or decorated with ribbons, birds, balls, fruit, ornaments, garlands, cones, …

And…, our first tulips of the season are ready to decorate your holiday tables! In December we have mostly the reds, whites, pinks, but also few other colors.

The yearly cycle starts all over again...
