pool forms, pumps and filters, and 

 plenty of construction expertise 



CHANGES ARE PLANNED Many of 

 the structures and displays were built 

 when the need occurred and now the 

 concern is about clarity and improved 

 traffic flow The current gardens and 

 sales area move slightly uphill to a 

 line of mature spruce Beyond the line 

 is lawn and the office — in what still 

 appears to be a private home But be- 

 yond the lawn is more — mums, display 

 gardens, water lilies 



"The problem is the lawn " lean 

 says "We've put up signs and indi- 



cated they're welcome, but people are 

 still uncomfortable crossing what ap- 

 pears to someone's private property" 

 So a new design — a master plan — has 

 evolved Parking will be where the 

 mums are being grown now and the 

 ground floor of the house/office will 

 become a gift shop With a greenhouse 

 attached The long-term plan sees a 

 series of connected houses going all 

 the way to the Nexus house, making 

 Rockingham a more attractive place to 

 shop on rainy days 



But that's long-term Bill and lean 

 close after Christmas (poinsettias, 

 herbal gift items, wreaths decorated 



with dried flowers) each year, then re- 

 open around Easter (hanging baskets. 

 Asiatic lilies) The time between is 

 spent cleaning, growing, organizing.., 

 and next spring a new formal garden — 

 a scent garden' ("verbenas, scented 

 geraniums great for kids as well as 

 adults") will be the first aspect of the 

 master plan to take shape And the 

 pumps will be plugged in and the wa- 

 ter will begin flowing and the curtain 

 will rise on another season of color 

 and entertainment (B P )
