Barberry: Thorny Beauty

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 16:59:18 +0000

A barberry shrub adds beautiful contrast to a landscape that may feature various evergreens.

Their vibrant colour shows very well throughout the year. They can also be planted as a hedge that creates a fence. They are not finicky and do well in direct sun.

Great Grasses

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 16:57:12 +0000

Ornamental Grasses add colour and texture to your gardens and landscaping. They can be used to create a wonderful natural border or create a neutral break between bold colours. They come in many sizes and are very hardy. The taller grasses can be used as a garden backdrop or lined along a fence to create a softer, more natural setting.

Rice Road has more than 50 varieties so you should have no problem finding that specific grass you need or even discovering a new grass that takes your design ideas to a new wonderful place.

What’s new at the greenhouse?

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:20:58 +0000

Stop by Rice Road Greenhouse and see what were up to. We’ve just received a full stock of potted bulbs, cut pussy willows, primula, and a whole lot more flowering plants.

Also, take a look at how Rice Road is expanding. We’ve finished putting up close to 35, 000 sq. ft. of new greenhouses to better serve you. Don’t hesitate to ask and see them.

Going Green! Through the winter we’ve decided to help out and do our part for the earth. We’re in a program that uses bio-controls, which are natural microscopic bugs that eat those pesky bugs that we try to kill all year long on our plants. These bio-control predators are not harmful to the plants and are very undetectable. This helps us use less pesticides, which creates a safer environment and also less residue on the plants.

Production, Production, Production…

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:52:56 +0000

Come take a peek at the production that’s going on in the greenhouses. We have a greenhouse packed FULL right now. Some is our plant production that will be used for the spring, and the rest is for a whole sale perennial contract. Right now we have close to 500 000 perennials that will be shipped out to Toronto on a weekly basis for the next 2 months. From Toronto the perennials will get dispersed to garden centers all over Canada. From New Brunswick, to Vancouver, grown right here at Rice Road Greenhouses. On Saturdays you can see how we pack and ship everything right in front of your eyes.
