Hello Friends!

I'd better do my lesson 2 before my Mentor Karen starts yelling...

So we must click some text-formatting buttons, huh... Okay... one of my favorite text features is the "Select Colors For 1 Line of Text". It's the 'L' (for Line) button: .

You can color a complete line with it, no matter if there are not enough words to fill the whole line. This is great for text section headers! I found some text somewhere and will this use to demonstrate the 'L' button. I selected a white font color on a blue background...

Finally I hi-lighted ALL text and clicked on the 'Align Text' button and selected 'Justify' to get a nice straight right border.  It's so easy... a child can do it... (Child sold separately!)



100 Years of Daffodils and More
Back around 1900, Brent's grandfather, Charles Heath, ate a cantaloupe that caused him to discover daffodils in tidewater Virginia. Heath, a Yankee, was soon accepted by the local, southern farmers for his instrumental development of a daffodil flower industry, that would later help with cash flow during the depression. Brent's father and mother, 'Pappy George' and Katie Heath, developed a mail order business that once catalogued over 1500 cultivars of daffodils. Brent, who grew up in the business, fell in love with the flower and bought the business from his mother in 1972. He married Becky in 1979 and the rest is history.. hold on to your seats while this slide seminar tells the story!

A Walk On the Wild Side
The species (wild) bulb flowers are among the most beautiful, diverse, complex but easy to grow group of plants. From hundreds of geophyte's (bulb) genera (types) have come many thousands of spectacular hybrids and cultivars. The species themselves are spectacular in their own right and often out persist their own progeny in longevity, perennialization and for sure, naturalization. We will take a look at species bulbs through the seasons and garden situations helping you decide what, when, where and how to grow and color gardens with flower bulbs.

Autumn Finale with Fall Flowering Bulbs
We think of orange, rust, brown and other earth tones as the color of autumn with the lovely brilliance of the falling leaves. However, there are many plants that add hues of lavender, purple, blue, pink, white and bright yellow to the fall garden. Many of these plants, like the tree's leaves, will give you color year after year with little effort. And because many bloom without leaves, each blossom becomes a well-deserved, enchanting surprise. We'll guide you through the process of adding interesting, new colors to your garden that will change it from a 'waning garden' to a colorful, end of the season gala!

Bulbs as Companion Plants
Whether you are planning to plant bulbs in a fresh, newly prepared empty garden, or whether you are adding them to an already existing one, this seminar will have the answers for you! With exquisite slides illustrating the seminar, you will be introduced to the best of the best...the right bulbs for the right spots. You'll learn how to combine bulbs, perennials, annuals, ground covers and flowering shrubs that will create just the feeling you want to generate for four seasons in your garden. After seeing and experiencing this seminar, you'll leave with information and inspiration to produce a garden that you, your neighbors and friends will enjoy all year.


You are all doing very well !!!

Best wishes,
Joop Blokker.
