Dreamin'..........


One of the best things about running a garden center is spring planning in January and February. These two months used to seem so L-O-N-G and dark. Many people get seasonal depression right now, and I can sure understand that....but now, well, at the garden center we get to spend the time after the holidays looking through beautiful catalogs for spring plants and flowers. Isn’t that great? We’ve also been looking into the herbs for spring (that’s my personal favorite!) The Herb House has been a big hit the past few years and we do not plan to disappoint this year, either. Is there anything better than stepping out on your patio and grabbing a handful of this or that to put in a recipe? Yummmmmmm. I can’t wait!


Of course, the weather around here has been quite crazy this year. The old wives’ tales tell us that a warm January could mean some nasty weather in February, and even March! So, watch out! Mother Nature could still be planning a winter formal...


I hope to be updating a lot over the next few weeks. We just put some new portfolio pictures on the Facebook page and are working on getting those on the website. Please share our Facebook page with your friends. We depend on our great customers to help us spread the word about our business. Rocky Hill has to be one of the best places in the world to be a small business owner. The support you show us is wonderful. So many friends have stopped in just to tell us they love the changes that we have made. If you haven’t stopped in, please do. We have some beautiful custom fireplaces, a pizza oven, and we have redone the outdoor kitchen!!


Well, that’s all for today. I hope you guys are busy planning your spring planting, too. It really makes these dreary days go by a little faster. See you soon!!
