Plant Nursery Time

We visited nursery Bastin with my parents-in-law, more than 25 years ago. 

Later we visited regularly, once or twice a year.

Due to covid it stopped and now, after 5 years, we returned.

Oh oh, three trays filled already...

While the kenderman was searching for plants, I had a stroll around the nursery...

and was almost immediately accompanied by a new friend...

(it's two strangers on the photo above, not us)

My adorable new friend...

... waiting for me while I was taking photo's ♥︎

Only after our 'fruitful' visit we read: 

 

"... wij hebben alles al" we don't need anything more, we have it all

We should have seen this text earlier! (smile)

Plant Hunt

We visited Bastin. One of our favourite nurseries. We found some Salix exigua!
We lost 2 big ones in a storm in 2010. Now we can replace them at last :)

Bastin

What do we like to do in our vacation? We work in our garden and then.......

we're off to a nursery and buy more plants :-)

Yesterday the weather forecast predicted rain showers and thunder.

It seemed like an ideal day to do some shopping :-)

So we went to Bastin, a nursery specialised in Mediterranean plants.

This beautiful nursery is situated on a slope in the South of the Netherlands.

Today we will be busy planting!

Think outside the box

We have been doing some shopping today :-)

We went to one of our favourite nurseries Bastin.

Normally we go there at least twice a year.

Today we realised, seeing the size of the plants in their borders,

that we have never been there so early in the year.

We bought:

Sambucus nigra 'black lace' = Eva

Angelica sylvestris 'Vicar's mead'

Thymus serpyllum 'Pink Chintz'

Eryngium giganteum 'Silver Ghost' 

Pycanthemum pilosum

Porteranthus trifoliatus (Gillenia trifoliata)
