Organic Seeds of Change
Greensun has received valuable gardening direction for over 2 decades from Hastings Garden Center. We attended the free seminar offered by Hastings on Saturday, February 21, 2009. Seed Lovers, Start your Victory Gardens.
Hastings has an excellent program for organic practices including lady bugs and praying mantis egg casings which may be hatched in a bug habitat. They offer fruit trees and berry bushes and top varieties of seeds to begin any gardening effort.
Here is an excerpt from the Hastings Newsletter–you may subscribe here:
In the Spring 1943 Hastings Seed Catalog, Donald M. Hastings, son of pioneer H. G. Hastings wrote an article titled Victory Gardens, in which he says,“Any program for the development of gardens for Victory must include the growing of trees, shrubs, and flowers, for the health of the mind, as well as vegetables for the health of the body…”
Victory Garden triviaThis jingle from a 1942 radio show “Farm and Home Hour” sums up the spirit of the day: “Get out and dig, dig, dig in the sunshine. You can make one garden grow…”

Jinger’s Showcase was voted 2009 Favorite Florist by Thomaston newspaper reader’s of Upson Beacon. The reason Jinger’s is the favorite of Greensun is she recycles vases. A doctor’s office brought to Jinger’s a box filled with vases yesterday which Jinger plans to recycle. Consider returning your floral vases to local florists. I love the flower girl who recycles.
