Hanging Baskets

All over Anchorage we have beautiful baskets of flowers Something unique we have here is our greenhouses babysit our flower baskets for the winter. Every color and type of flowers.
WOW! What a display.

At Alaskan Frontier Gardens Bed and Breakfast every 3rd week in May Rita renst a U-haul and drives to Bell’s Nursery to pick up her forty baskets. Rope is strung across back and forth in the van to hang the five foot long baskets of flowers. This takes all afternoon since you have to place them on hooks around the outside of the B&B and several trips with the U-haul. All summer long it takes two hours a day to water the baskets and more time to water all the flower beds in the yard and the lawn.

Sounds like another part time job, but lots of enjoyment if you love flowers and the peacefulness of watering them.
