Notes from the Greenhouse:

Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed the afternoon with friends and family here at the greenhouse. We were blessed with a beautiful day and a great performance by Reunited.
Tanya, I'm sure was looking down and extremely happy with what she saw. Thank you to all those that donated to Kassidy. She was so appreciative and said it will help with some of her expenses.
The community and surrounding areas are so very supportive.
The boardwalk is all put together and now with some heat and sun should start to really grow and look beautiful.

Enjoy your Memorial day and remember those that fought for us and made the ultimate sacrifice. To those I say thank you.

Just a quick note.

We will be closing at 5 o'clock today and tomorrow just to give ourselves a few more hours to get prepared for Sunday's event.

Thank you for understanding

Notes from the Greenhouse:

Well hopefully we are making the turn for some warmer temps so all of us plant geeks and gardeners can get out and play in the dirt.

One of the not so enjoyable tasks, but an absolutely necessary one is to cover or haul plants into the greenhouses when a frost advisory is issued. Last night one was issued and of course I woke to 42 degrees. Better safe than sorry.

The greenhouse has been busy and we have lots of beautiful hanging baskets, premium annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables and bedding plants.

On a sad note I do offer a prepaid and then we will hold your items until the weather warms. We clearly mark, flag and label all those items and sadly there are some people that lack any kind of integrity who will remove the flagging and sold signs and take the items. I can't remember all of them some find their way to the checkout and out the front door. Next year I will be putting in a lockable cage to keep those items in.

Now on a happier note.
This Sunday we will be having a celebration in honor of my dear friend Tanya. From 2 to 5
Reunited will be performing live on the butterfly terrace. The Prentice fire department will be here selling food and beverages. Someone from the VFW and Lions club will have a table set up sharing information. I also offered some space for a few vendors, one makes unique 3d printed items and the other freshly baked sweets and bread.
Any and all donations will be given to Tanya's daughter Kassidy to help her with some of the expenses she has been sadly having to take on, so any donations are immensely appreciated!

Thank you and have a fantastic day!

Notes from the Greenhouse:

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to play in the dirt during our container workshops. We had a great turnout every weekend this month and we hope you all enjoyed yourselves.
So many of you had wonderful stories to share about Tanya and how she was such a huge help and shared her passion with you. I will do all I can to keep her memory and honor all she brought to this little utopia. She always called it her happy place. No matter the time of day or part of the season, I would get a text "Dave, I need some time in my happy place"
She is with me always and as I care for all your beautiful creations, in excess of probably 300 containers/hanging baskets, she has her touch on them also.

I am trying to have the bedding plants and vegetables delivered on May 15th. Hopefully that will happen and we won't have too many cold evenings once they all arrive.

Our current hours are
Sunday-Thursday 9-5
Friday and Saturday 9-6
Wednesday closed

If anyone knows someone into lawn care, mowing, w**d whipping and general cleanup please pass along their contact information. Thank you

Enjoy your day!

Notes from the Greenhouse:

Well, the flowers are definitely doing their thing and are loving the sun and warmer temps. Seems like things are changing by the minute.
This is the last weekend for the container workshops. The creations put together during the previous weekends are looking amazing.
I needed some planting therapy earlier in the week so I got a jump on the boardwalk containers. Don't worry, for anyone wanting to share in the fun and continuing Tanya's passion, there are about 80 more combinations waiting to be put together. Probably early May sometime.
We are open daily 9-5, until 6 on Friday and Saturday. Closed Wednesday.
Our vegetables and bedding plants (marigolds, impatiens, snaps, etc) will be here May 20th. Last year I had them delivered on the 15th and we had some hard frosts, so lots of covering and hauling in. I'm trying to avoid that this year.

Enjoy your weekend!

Just a quick note in between container workshops.

Kassidy (Tanya's daughter) stopped by to lend a hand today and she brought some of her mom's notes and journals.
In the one journal she just started this year has only one flower combination written in it. She has it called "laugh at life". We most certainly will be planting some of them and thinking of our dear friend every time we see the beauty.

There is a celebration and gathering for Tanya today at Sailor's ll in Prentice today at 4. Please stop by and share a laugh, tell a story or give a hug in remembering and honoring Tanya.

Notes from the Greenhouse:

Just a few items to pass along.

I just picked up some beautiful boston fern hanging baskets. They are a long crop and a friend of mine heats his greenhouse during the winter and grows a few hundred baskets.

All the flowers are loving this weather. It's been nice being able to roll up the sides of the greenhouses for some of that natural ventilation.

Just a few dates to put on your calendar.

If you are interested in vegetables and bedding plants ( marigolds, snaps, impatiens, etc) they will be available the third week of May. I have Heath Farms in Coloma grow those items for me. Heidi and her staff do an amazing job. If there is something you are after specifically, shoot me a message and I will see if it's on my order or add to it.

Memorial day weekend, Sunday May 24th will be a special day here at the greenhouse. We will be enjoying a day of making memories, having a great time and honoring our amazing friend Tanya. Live music by Reunited. The Prentice fire department will be here selling food and beverages and the Prentice lions club will have a table set up sharing all the great programs they are involved in. The greenhouses will be in all their glory and it should be a wonderful day. Things will kick off at 2:00.

I have been spending some time in the evenings going through the bundles of tags from the amazing combinations Tanya put together last year for our boardwalk. She loved so much planting them all. Now it's time I start thinking about what will be going out on the boardwalk. I will be repeating some of the same ones that were breathtaking and will put my own touch on a bunch as well. I'm sure she will be smiling down on me as well as probably shaking her head a few times in disbelief. I think we will be planting them in mid May and will gladly be looking for volunteers that may want to get their hands dirty and share in one of Tanya's passions.

The final note is there are still openings for the container workshops this weekend and next. Send us a message or call to reserve your spot.

Enjoy your evening!

Notes from the Greenhouse:

It was such a fun weekend with all our amazing guests who came out to play in the dirt and create some beautiful combinations during the container workshops. Thank you all for your support. Whether it was your first time or fifth.
Tanya was definitely with us, I have know doubt about that. Some of you even wanted to know her favorites and you planted in honor of her. That was so special to me and she is smiling down at such a sweet gesture. Thank you!

We still have openings for the next two weekends. If you are interested send us a message or give Dave a call.

Enjoy your evening!
