Starting the week off strong with a true classic:

🥦 Broccoli Cheddar Soup 🥦

Now, did you know that broccoli and cheddar (okay, specifically this soup) brings more than just great flavor to the table? 👀

Packed with vitamins A, E, and K, along with plenty of calcium and vitamin D, it's basically a vitamin-packed lunch disguised as comfort food. 😏💛

Creamy, cheesy, and loaded with wholesome broccoli goodness, this is one of those soups that somehow manages to feel indulgent and responsible at the same time.

So go ahead. Eat your vegetables.

We're making it easy today.

☀️🥤 It's hot, we're closed, and it's extra important to stay hydrated today! 🥤☀️

So take it easy.

Find some shade. 🌳
Put your feet up. 😌
Grab a nice cold drink. 🧊
And try not to melt into a lawn chair. 😅

We'll be back on Monday and ready for another week of plants, shopping, coffee, and all the usual Green Spot goodness. 💛

And don't go too far...

🍲 Stay tuned for the upcoming soup menu! 🍲

Until then, stay cool and take care of yourselves!

☀️🥵 Well... the weather has not, in fact, calmed down. 🥵☀️

If anything, it's doubled down on its commitment to being aggressively summer.

With temperatures in the greenhouse expected to reach potentially dangerous levels again today, we'll be closing the Café at Noon to help keep everyone safe and avoid becoming part of the menu ourselves. 😅

We appreciate your patience and understanding as our team does its best to work around the heat and, generally speaking, not melt.

💧 Stay hydrated
🧴 Wear your sunscreen
🌳 Find some shade when you can

And we'll see you back here Monday, hopefully a little cooler and a little less crispy. 💛

A new-to-us soup!

Or at least... a new-to-me soup 😏

🥦 Roasted Cauliflower & Cheddar Soup 🥦

Roasted cauliflower and cheddar? Yes please!

I mean, I already love it as a side dish, so why wouldn't I want an entire bowl dedicated to that delicious combination? 💛

Creamy, cheesy, and packed with rich roasted flavor, this cozy soup takes a humble vegetable and gives it the spotlight it deserves. Comforting, satisfying, and proof that cauliflower has been hiding its true potential all along.

It's the return of a fan favorite! 💛

🥔 Chef in the House's Famous Loaded Baked Potato Soup 🥔

A little cheesy, a little bacon-y, packed with oniony goodness, and so much potato it's basically a loving hug in a bowl 😌

Rich, hearty, and wonderfully comforting, this is the soup that keeps people coming back for "just one more spoonful." Whether you're a longtime fan or trying it for the first time, today's the day to grab a bowl.

Some classics earn their reputation. This is one of them. ✨

And we're back at it with Hangover Soup! 😏💛
A little bit spicy, a whole lot hearty, and packed with everything you need to survive the midweek hump. (Sorry, Thursday—we love you, but you're standing between us and the weekend.)
Rich, comforting, and full of bold flavor, this is the kind of soup that puts a little extra pep in your step when the week starts feeling long.
Whether you need an extra oomph to power through your to-do list or just a delicious pick-me-up, we've got you covered.
And so does CHEF in the HOUSE 👨‍🍳🍲✨

Some soups shout for attention. 🍲✨ Corn Chowder ✨🍲 doesn't have to. 🌽💛
Creamy, comforting, and packed with sweet corn flavor, it's the kind of bowl that quietly wins people over one spoonful at a time.
Rich without being heavy and simple without ever being boring, it's proof that good ingredients can do all the talking.
Honestly, if comfort had a flavor, it might just taste like corn chowder.

🍲✨ Smokey Chickpea & Red Lentil Soup ✨🍲
Don't let the ingredient list fool you—this soup knows exactly what it's doing 😏💛
Smoky, hearty, and packed with chickpeas, red lentils, and plenty of savory goodness, it's the kind of bowl that proves comfort food doesn't need meat to be satisfying.
Rich in flavor, wonderfully filling, and just a little bit bold, this is a soup that refuses to blend into the background.
Basically? It's got more personality than should be legal in a soup pot of this size.

☀️🔥 Heatstroke Warning — Please Take Care, Westman!
Even though the greenhouse is closed today, the current Westman weather is dangerously hot. Environment Canada has issued an Orange Level Heat Warning for our region, with temperatures exceeding 35°C and humidex values pushing into the mid‑40s. Overnight lows aren’t offering much relief either — staying around 18–22°C.
This is the kind of heat where hydration and shade aren’t optional — they’re survival.

🚨 Heatstroke is a medical emergency.

Watch for:
Headache
Hot, red skin
Dizziness or confusion
Nausea
Fainting

If these show up, call 911 immediately and move the person to a cool area while removing extra clothing and applying cold water or ice packs.

🌡️ How to stay safe today:
Drink water before you feel thirsty — and keep drinking.
Stay out of direct sun; seek shade or air‑conditioned spaces.
Wear loose, light‑colored clothing and a wide‑brimmed hat.
Take cool showers or baths if you’re overheating.
Check on vulnerable folks — older adults, people living alone, and anyone with health conditions.
Never leave people or pets in vehicles.
Schedule outdoor activities for the coolest parts of the day.

Westman, please take this seriously. We love seeing you in the greenhouse, but we love you safe, hydrated, and healthy even more. 💚
