Vinca in the Bee Happy Tea Garden

Welcome to the Bee Happy Tea Garden.....popular in England in the 18th Century where ladies and gentlemen enjoyed tea together, oftentimes with entertainment such as Mozart or Handel.  In a splendid garden setting -- floral beauty all around while sipping a cup of tea--friendships are bound to blossom!  

This garden highlights  Vinca Mega Bloom Pink Halo F1 , an All-American Selections Flower Winner (#AASWinners) from 2017.   Here is what AAS has to say about this flower: 
"Mega Bloom is an exciting new series of vinca bred to withstand heat and humidity without succumbing to disease. Pink Halo produces huge soft pink blossoms with a wide white eye. These flowers present a striking look in the garden, even from a distance. Plants maintain a nice, dense habit with flowers staying on top of the foliage for full flower power color.  "

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.
