We are officially closed for the season and permanently at our 591 College Highway location. Thank you for your patronage this year and over the previous 23 years that we enjoyed seeing you and being located in the center of Southwick. Our final day yesterday was a busy one and we were glad to see a lot of the remaining statuary (including the last bird bath) and yard decorations purchased. It was great seeing a lot of familiar faces as well, including Chris, the co-founder and family namesake of the business. As many of you know, she was central to the business from day one and long after the end of her official involvement. She also purchased a lot of the remaining items inside the shop (many of which she originally picked out) on behalf of Southwick Florist, where they will be available for purchase.
Going forward, Warren anticipates the remainder of this year and likely most of next year to be dedicated to moving and setting up the new location of the business at his farm just a few miles away in town. As such, he does not plan on opening for the season like usual next May 1st and will not be ordering new inventory, for the start of next year at the very least and likely longer. The new Anson Flower Farm and Nursery is envisioned as being a somewhat smaller operation with business hours 3-4 days a week during the season—likely Thursday-Sunday. Once reopened, Warren will sell the remaining statuary and yard decorations he has on hand, but will not order new merchandise of these kinds. The business will primarily sell perennials, shrubs, and trees. Any outstanding gift certificates you might still have will of course be honored. As Warren gets closer to reopening, Southwoods will revamp and post updated information about the business on the Anson-Nursery.com website, which should be the best and most current source of information at that time.
Thank you again for a great final year at the intersection of Route 57 and College Highway. We wish you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season and look forward to hopefully seeing you again in the future!
