A reflection of our year

Posted by Judy Kraushaar on Thursday, August 6, 2020
A reflection, a learning curve, a lesson learnt, and the realization of what really matters.  WOW.... I am blessed.  I am blessed to have family that have my back in times of need and in times to celebrate, I am blessed to be surrounded by friends that boost me up on my down days, carry me through when I want to give up, and praise me even though I don't feel that great.  I am blessed that I have staff that work their asses off (excuse the language) to make our business a safe place to come t...

2020 .....

Posted by Judy Kraushaar on Saturday, April 18, 2020
Well, I don't have to say it..... we ALL feel it, we all are affected, and we all wish it would just go away.  Yes, I too am frustrated with all the inconveniences but I am also very grateful that I have a place to go to, a purpose, and an escape.  So what does this all mean for the greenhouse.  Well it has been a tremendous amount of extra work.  I've had to cut my staff to a core of 7 people plus my family, there is a massive amount of extra cleaning and disinfecting every day,  I have spen...

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you. 
We have been busy filling up the greenhouses these past three weeks. This season we seemed to have hit the ground running.  Other years we eased into planting and took our time.  This year I had the plants three days before we started and we all felt like we had been hit by a truck the first week.  Our bodies weren't use to the lifting, bending, and running.  The planters were unbelievable.  They planted up to 4000 plants a day which required soil to be mixed, pots fille...
