Just wanted to update you on what’s happening at Brantim now that the warm July weather has arrived.

Come celebrate the first day of Summer at Brantim with our Summer Solstice Sale – June 19 and 20, 2010.

Many thanks to everyone who purchased Rewards Club Cards this year, together we raised $2270 for CHEO which was handed over during the telethon this past weekend.

It’s easy to introduce a child to gardening. Most children love being outdoors and giving them a special activity while they’re enjoying some fresh air is a great way to get started. Plus, children make the best gardeners because of their enthusiasm and curiosity.

What a strange start to the season, wouldn’t you say? It was so warm in April getting us all excited to get our hands dirty in the garden only to be held up in May with frost. We are pleased to say that we’ve looked at the forecast and if all goes well we should be clear of frost from this point on – hooray!

Mother’s day is just around the corner and so is summer. For any mom who loves to garden, outdoor plants are wonderful and timely Mother’s Day gifts. But before you rush off and pick out a planter or hanging basket for mom, there are a few things to consider beyond her favorite colour. You need look for an outdoor arrangement that will suit her lifestyle as well.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Brantim for our First Annual Spring Open House. It was so nice to see so many familiar faces and so many new ones!

Want to get an early start on your herb garden this year?
This weekend only, Brantim is featuring 4″ Assorted Herbs on sale. Come on out to our Open House and don’t miss out on the fun!

Welcome to our new online feature called Ask Brantim!
At Brantim we pride ourselves on being able to offer expert container gardening advice to all of our customers. So we decided that this service should be provided online as well!

We often make choices about style when it comes to picking out our clothes or decorating our homes, but what about our gardens? At Brantim, we believe that our choice of plant material can also be an extension of our personal style and we’ve got a great new way to show you how.
