Portulaca ‘Raspberry Lemonade’

Our field of candidates…

Drumroll, please…

For the past few years at Field Day we’ve had you cast votes for your favorite variety of certain plants in our Display Gardens. It’s become an annual ritual, and though you might consider it a gimmick to add some light-hearted fun to the day we actually take the results very seriously. Your votes help us determine which varieties we’ll continue to grow and which ones we’ll retire, at least for the time being.

Chasmanthium Sea Oats

Sea oats—a departure from typical ornamental varieties

Ornamental grasses add height, texture, and drama to fall décor, and we have a pretty native variety to talk about today: sea oats. It offers a different look than what we’re accustomed to, forming loosely tufted clumps with feathery seed heads that droop from slender arching stems. Sound effects are included, as a gentle rustling can be heard when the seed heads nod and flutter with even the slightest breeze.

Field Day 2017: Our Best Yet

FN 1.2 Crowd around Elmer MG 2261
Lots of logos showed up at Field Day 2017 

By every internal measure—notebooks used, donuts consumed, people present—our recent Field Day was the most popular one we have presented. Over 100 attendees were on hand, many wearing their company logo on shirts, t-shirts, or hoodies. That pride inspired us—here’s a little of what we saw.

Design with Solar Power

The Total Eclipse is today

Today’s Total Eclipse got us to thinking about autumn designs for sun. We’re coming up on that transition phase of late summer to fall, and we have a lot of color choices to get the creative wheels turning. Of course, we’ll have a full sun bed to show you here at Field Day, but you’ll have to wait and see on that one.
