The greenhouse had a summer camp here for 8-11 year olds this past week. It was a blast. My daughter, Jesse, came home from Halifax to coordinate it. She kept those kids hopping for 5 days. They did everything from making paper out of corn husks to catching tadpoles at Rapid Pond. The children made their own snacks and lunches (with a little help from the adults) from many of the items that we grow here at the greenhouse. We tried to focus on a well balanced diet but we did try to make it more palatable by dipping some things in chocolate. Yay for chocolate. the above photo is of Skyler shucking strawberries.
Located in beautiful Little Rapids, Newfoundland and Labrador, The Greenhouse is a one of a kind Garden Centre. Specializing in custom hanging baskets and containers, the Greenhouse has a large offering of trees, shrubs, perennials and mostly anything an avid garden would desire. Our demonstration gardens and ponds are a treat for visitors that just want to walk around and gather ideas. Come join us!
