Remember that KPTV segment taped here recently?  Well, it aired yesterday and if you missed it, you can still catch it online: http://www.kptv.com/video/23281739/index.html.

Marinda shared lots of great information about why Japanese maples are perfect for just about any garden.  And with over 50 varieties to choose from, we can help you find one that’s just right for your garden.

As you may remember, KPTV was here recently to tape a segment for their Better Portland program.  To watch this fun segment, and learn some tips for creating a dramatic container garden of your own, click here:  http://www.kptv.com/video/23211924/index.html

As I mentioned Wednesday, we taped two segments for KPTV’s Better Portland show.  I promised you I would let you know when they will air, so mark your calendars:

Celina’s segment on porch containers with spring color - Tuesday, April 20 @ 1:15 p.m.

Marinda’s segment on our awesome selection of Japanese Maples – Tuesday, April 27 @ 1:15 p.m.

Brooke Carlson from Better Portland was here today.  It is always fun to help our local media get the word out about our great plants and stellar service!  We taped two segments which will air in the next couple of weeks – I will pass along those dates when we know them, so that you can share the fun.  Celina gave a great demo on creating a colorful spring container garden for your front porch (she designed an eye-catching container using golden barberry, saxifragia, Iris moss, and tuberous begonia), and Marinda talked about one of our specialties here at Farmington Gardens, Japanese maples, which are colorfully leafing out at this time of year.   Kudos to both of you gals - you were awesome!

Better Portland airs on KPTV channel 12 at 1pm daily – check it out.  And thank you Brooke and Eric – it was great to have you here today!
