Garden center "bursting at the seams"

31 comments


So this is my favourite garden centre. Close to spa, where I use to go. Just for understanding the whole atmosphere, I must tell you one secret about Slovaks.
They do not take care about perfectly cut green grass or green walls with German-like strict lines. They take care mostly for fruits. That is – whatever is in my garden, it must have fruits first.
So now you understand and please come in “Bibi Bee Garden Center”-


This is nice welcome. made by students from academy of gardening on last year autumn ceremony.


I guarantee, this is not 100 % recycled organic material.
If you walk farther, you can buy delicious apples coming from local apple plantations. In the autumn, you will get a wooden cage and you can pick your apples directly from the trees.

And here you immediately understand, that you are in Slovak garden center. You will not find any other and so big notice board like this in the center. This solitary and only one board shouts “FRUIT TREES!” My God :)

…Kat, please take us from here! We will bring you fruits! No, no, no, I can´t I am on holiday now, my garden is far. Stay as you are.

Elen, I think we will not push it all in our small car…


…they succeeded, finally, thanks God and lazy hubbie (as they named him while he was sitting in a car :))

Oooo, and this is berries section…love it…bought Goji bush this time…


Hey Mom, which apple tree do you want? What what? Here they have several sorts….You do not know? I do not know either.


It was my funny morning in the garden center. Hope you had also nice day, GoYers :)

Pleased you had a good trip Katerina and also for explaining about the fruit sales and lack of flowers, its surprising what one can get in the car if one is determined, lol..

We do not have lack of flowers, Linclass, not at all. Their season just did not start, yet.

I'm glad you enjoyed the garden centre. I like going to them aswell.

Lovely garden centre Katarina. Fruit bushes are very tempting. Your "big table" puzzled me at first - we call it a notice board ! Thank you for the tour.

Thank you Steragram for correcting me :) Going to correct it. I used literal translation from Slovak to English, so there is no wonder, you were confused, lol.

Nice blog Katarina:) but what exactly means 'wcielky'? is it 'mad' or 'crazy'? lol

19 Mar, 2012

 

Sorry Katerina, I thought you meant that particular GC only sold fruit bushes and trees...

Today is my day off - so I am trying to do it as little energetic as I can. On my feet at work all week, hard work, so...

20 Mar, 2012

 

Kasia, if you go to my photos from April May last year, there they are all, small and big, they were lovely :)

20 Mar, 2012

 

Hi Steve, what is Bampys van?

20 Mar, 2012

 

Stevie - the links are in Polish - but the animated movies were made in Czechoslovakia;-)

:) Thank you Katarina:) I think the first one was the best. the choice of music was just perfect:)

20 Mar, 2012

 

Great blog Kat, very entertaining :o))
It's very interesting to visit a GC so different to those we have here. I'm glad you didn't come home empty handed.

20 Mar, 2012

 

Hi Lily, this is just start of the season and this garden center has beautiful shrubs and roses in late spring and summer. This time I am on a holiday yet, so I just bought those sorts, which will not die in my car staying there for four other days - e.g. small azaleas (Geisha Orange) and Goji shrub. Like its juice :)

20 Mar, 2012

 

Maybe you could take us there again in the summer Kat? It might be a squash for all of us in your car though and no room for plants! LOL I hope your azaleas and Goji survive the trip :o))

20 Mar, 2012

 

No problem. Three gardeners in a car and a lot of plants :))))) See you in summer.
