We look forward to helping you create a beautiful garden full of treasures from around the world. Welcome to our 2019-2020 catalogue Welcome to our 2019-2020 catalogue. Well 2019 was a fantastic year with more people visting the Nursery than normal. It was also a very challenging year with injuries and staff shortages and this continues. We will likely not been taking any more mail orders for the spring of 2020. We will post a notice if this changes. We encourage those that can to come and visit the nursery as it is full speed ahead here. We are keeping our offerings the same as 2019 and hope to put out an addition some time in early March. We are actively looking to hire two more people so if you are looking for employment please contact us. Our first major event in 2020 will be Helleborganza (Hellebores), March 1st-March 31st. Helleborganza is our celebration of hellebores and other early blooming perennials including species snowdrops, flowering cherry trees, Adonis and double hepaticas to name a few. We expect an excellent display from our hepaticas this season as we had great growth last year. We are absolutely hellebore crazy and love to see the reaction of people (especially those new to hellebores) when they see the incredible diversity in both blooms and foliage at a time of year when we can all use more colour in our gardens. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the dedicated hellebore breeders around the world who have toiled over the last twenty odd years to bring us so many fine plants. The event will run over a month this year as every day more and more plants come into bloom. As we did last year, we will also offer an assortment of smaller and larger plant sizes. Please see our website, www.thimblefarms.com for mouth watering pictures. We would like to offer a PDF version of the catalogue via email as well as occasional emails about new offerings. If you would like to receive these emails please see the instructions on page two. New plants will be posted on our Facebook page as well as a new page on our web site called New Plants before being posted in the main listing of the website. This way we will be able to post new plants throughout the year. Thank you, Richard and Nancy Fraser Native and North American Native (N.A.
