OPEN THIS THURSDAY at 7 AM!
We appreciate your patience as we navigate this end to the school year, but we can officially announce that the greenhouse will be open on Thursday morning from 7 AM to 3 PM. and again on Friday from 7 AM to at least 3 PM (not quite sure yet).
The plants look good. We have a bunch of swedish ivy, wandering jew, and baby tears baskets. Geraniums are blooming, tons of coleus and other bedding plant materials plus a bunch of items perfect to build your own mixed planter at home. Add in strawberries, tomatoes, and a nice variety of succulents and we should have something for everyone. If you still need to pick something up for Momma this Sunday, we can hook you up too!
Cash or checks accepted. We are not set up to accept cards.
Enter through the east gates behind the high school. We hope to see you Thursday and Friday.
(Our apologies for not being able to stay open later on Thursday, but dad duty calls. I gotta run to Sabetha for track and Bartel is headed to baseball. Thank you for understanding.)
