We should start by saying we are grateful that nurseries are businesses deemed essential by our Governor, and our Department of Health. We can help others grow food, that alone is an honor. Over the years, we have tried to create messages that spoke of the very things we are experiencing currently, that the benefits of gardening  - like the act of just putting your hands in the dirt, being outside in fresh air, and creating something is just plain good for you.

However, we are not taking this responsibility lightly; we are going above and beyond the protocol put forth by the CDC to sanitize register station surfaces and cart handles after every use, we have outlined on the ground 6 foot distances throughout the heaviest traveled areas of the nursery, we have put a halt to accepting cash and we will be monitoring the amount of people in any given area, which means we ask for your patience of possibly waiting a little longer in lines or waiting until the numbers of people diminish to enter the greenhouses.

We ask that you respect our decision to take these measures. If you don’t have the same concerns about this situation, that’s ok, but please understand that if we don’t utilize these actions, it could be the very thing that forces us to close our doors. We look forward to continuing to serve our community to the very best of our ability. Thank you so much for your support.
