Super Hero in the Beestro

7/31/2018

0 Comments

 
​Yes, among other #AASWinners is the stand-out winner from 2018, Marigold Super Hero Spry.   Here’s what All-American Selections has to say about this Marigold:
 
“When one of the discerning AAS judges says, “I’d love to have this in my yard!”, you know you have a winner! Super Hero™ Spry is a lovely compact (10-12 inches) French marigold with dark maroon lower petals and golden yellow upper petals perched on top of the dark green foliage. The list of winning attributes continues: a more uniform and stable color pattern, earlier to bloom and no deadheading required. These stunning blooms make any garden fit for a Super Hero!”
​WELCOME to the Bee Social at the Beestro Garden ... an original Parisian incarnation, for dining indoors or in a cozy garden setting, friends exchange greetings and break bread together. A casual evening in the village, the conversation may center on culinary delights and artfully arranged bouquets. 
 
See for yourself, come out to the gardens. 
 
This is part of a series of blog posts featuring the All-American Selections Display Gardens.
What is All-American Selections?  As written on their website: “All-America Selections is an independent non-profit organization that tests new, never-before-sold varieties for the home gardener. After a full season of anonymous trialing by volunteer horticulture professionals, only the top garden performers are given the AAS Winner award designation for their superior performance.”  The Spooner Teaching and Display Garden is one of eight AAS display gardens in Wisconsin.
 
​Come to the Spooner Teaching and Display Garden to see over 600 plants that have been planted in the display beds.  The planting of both the display and vegetable beds is now complete and each day there is more to see as the season progresses.
  
The Teaching and Display Garden can be found on Orchard Lane and is located 1.5 miles east of Spooner on State Highway 70 or 1/2 mile west of Highways 70/53 interchange.  It is open to the public daily in the growing season during daylight hours.
