North Creek Lives Eco-Scaping

More than 300 toured new plants being trialed, enjoyed fresh and local produce from North Creek's CSA and laughed with host Steve Castaroni and the team at North Creek Nurseries at the 23 Annual Open House this past Thursday.

New North Creek introductions were previewed - including Solar Cascade a great new solidago goldenrod. Steve and I were talking that solidago needs a new common name. Acchhoo! What do you think?
The yummiest surprise was the North Creek's fresh produced being cooked up by local chefs. Chef Yvonne Post from Cookingforreal.com demonstrated how to cook from garden to table and the hot new restuarant Twelves in West Grove catered.

North Creek produces a bushel a week of fresh produce in season for its team

All the who's who in horticulture were there.It was a gorgeous day and everyone had a blast.
