This
is where is where it all begins. The seed germination beds. Each tray
contains about 100 tiny cells that are carefully seeded by hand.
Once the seeds have sprouted, the new seedlings are lightly misted
from above to keep them moist.
When
the seedlings have grown to a large enough size to safely be handled, they
are moved to the growing range, where they are potted into larger
containers. Each plant is tagged with both it's Latin and common names. Then
they are nurtured for months... as they grow.
Once
the plants have filled their containers, some are transplanted a third
time into even larger pots. Others are planted together in mixed species
planters... and some are held back to be grown into bonsai specimens,
topiaries, and wreaths. Pictured to the left is a Rosemary specimen, that
took about two years to produce.
