They are so completely tuned in to the soil, the plants, and Connecticut -- 340 years on that piece of land -- talk about history! It is such a pleasure to hear what they have to say.
The garden center has a wide variety of plants. The old barn contains a diverse group of more exotic plants, meant for the house or a greenhouse most of the year. Here’s a pineapple that was started from a store-bought pineapple top. That would never happen for me!
I was intrigued by the old barn itself and the various zones it contains -- from plants on the floor that need the cooler temps to those hanging up high that need more warmth.
It was also impressive to see their solar panel array. Anita says this type of an installation is less expensive than roof mounting and doesn’t cause problems when it’s time for a new roof.
Solar panels not only reduce your carbon footprint, they can be a smart investment. Unused electricity can be sold back to the power company or taken as a credit and federal tax credits are also available. For more information, call Rob Ballek with BeFree Green Energy at (860) 873-9440.
