With another golf season upon us we are inching closer to planting our annual flowers. We will still have to wait another couple weeks before we can safely plant due to frost still being likely to occur. After that point in time we begin to install the flowers which are tentatively scheduled for the third week of May.
In efforts to make the installation go more smoothly the beds will be prepped well in advance of the actual planting. The prep involves, amending the soil, tilling, weeding and pre-plant fertilizer being added.
The logo bed will also be done slightly different than last year from an installation standpoint. Last year was the first time we have done this bed and the installation was tedious due to numerous measurements being taken to ensure the logo coming out right.
This year a frame has been constructed and will be placed permanently in the bed to act as a template for the specific areas of planting to create the logo.
This will be a huge time saver from an installation standpoint and also keep the logo visible to all during the off season when flowers are not present.

The green looks fantastic. I can only imagine the great care and maintenance that goes into this. I'll be scouting out some golf courses in calgary, I wonder what type of care goes into the upkeep of a course every day.
