Open House A Huge Success

Open House was a huge success this year.  With more visitors than ever before, we were busy all day.  We hope you were able to make it to see our fantastic displays of new varieties as well as old favorites.  We have been told that the displays were the best we have had yet!  Take a look at some of the highlights from the day http://www.dscolegrowers.com/ds-cole-growers-open-house-2011-photos
DS Cole Growers is Official Producer of Selecta Trixi Liners

DS Cole Growers is proud to have been named an official producer of the Selecta Trixi Liners for the upcoming 2012 season.

In this process, individual varieties are rooted in small paper pots.  After rooting, 3 different varieties are combined in a clover leaf shaped cell, rooting together to form the Trixi liner.  These liners are then sold in a 50 count tray - helping you take the guesswork out of your combinations.
New 52 Count SlimlineTM Tray Rooting Option

We are excited to announce a new rooting tray option for our color line of young plants.  See Doug explain the new tray concept at OFA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwNY5RUAeaE

 
"Herbs of the World"

"Herbs of the World" are ready for sale in 4" pots.  This is a culinary herb line that is simple and just what you need.  It covers the bases for the kitchen and since we are planting each week, the items are always fresh.  Grown in 4" plastic pots with colorful labels, these herbs are friendly for placing on a kitchen window.
