3 days until the opening day for New Hope Greenhouse. Please be aware of farm traffic as you enter and exit our driveway. We are located at 12469 Lake Fork Drive, Weldon, IL. Google maps does not always do the location thing correctly. Simply put, we are between Cisco and Weldon, right off of Rte 48. We have a number of signs on Rte 48 and we are less than a eighth of a mile off of Rte 48. Feel free to use our front yard to park and as needed, to turn around your vehicle when exiting. I am not going to freak out if you leave a mark in my driveway.
We are a self serve greenhouse. We accept cash in the cash box, also Venmo, Cash app, and PayPal.
We are not a big retail shop. Our greenhouse is on our 3 acre homestead. We live in the country and we keep things simple. We prefer to focus on the quality of our plants.
At our greenhouse, it is very likely that you will hear this, "AWOOOO". This is the sound that our beagle W***y makes, it is his way of saying hello. W***y will likely be looking out our living room window, towards the greenhouse.
Lucy, our brindle pittie, will be looking out our bedroom window, towards the greenhouse. She may bark but chances are that she will simply stare at you from her room.
Nelly is a lovable Lab, she belongs to the neighbors but she we have a open yard policy. Nelly is still a puppy. She is very friendly and loves everyone.
Bandit is our rooster, he is harmless. He may walks towards you but he will never attack you. My 3 year old grandson spent most of Easter Sunday chasing Bandit and Bandit simply ran away. He is harmless. We also have 15 hens, they are free range during the day.
Midnight is our cat, she is friendly but does not liked to be picked up.
I will have a couple of chairs outside of the greenhouse, feel free to use them.
We are looking forward to the 2026 greenhouse season.
