Patience, Gardeners!

We are VERY protective of our young plants and seedlings! All of these plants are loved for months in our care, we don’t want to see anything bad happen to them! That’s why we don’t have EVERYTHING out early, and we most certainly do not have a set schedule when everything will be outside. This time of year is highly dependent on mother nature!

We will have most of our perennials out this week, and our inside retail area will be reset as well. Our first house of tomatoes and peppers will be open this weekend, but PLEASE keep in mind that anything we keep inside should NOT be exposed to temperatures below 45 (and sometimes 50) degrees…so keep your eyes on the nighttime temperatures…they fluctuate daily depending on what forecasters know.

Our second set of tomatoes and peppers will be ready for sale after Mother’s Day when we get the official “all clear” from Mother Nature, and our warm crop vegetables will be out for sale around that time too – these crops NEED consistent warmth to grow healthy, please be patient!

 

SUCCESS!! Thank YOU for supporting our 18th Annual BowlAThon!

We had an incredible time at our annual BowlAThon fundraiser last month! We are happy to report that we netted over $22,000 which is an increase over last year’s fundraiser! Thank you, so very much to everyone who came out to show their support, provided donations for our raffle baskets and silent auction, and to the committee and volunteers that make this fundraiser possible every year!

We still have some lovely items made by our incredible craft team, we’re so happy many of them found nice homes, but Elvis Parsley here is still searching! Stop by to see what we’re growing and show your support for our mission soon!
