Friends, It's been a busy & productive Spring full of change! I retired from my job after working in the 'green industry' for the last 20 years. I spent 14 years working at Meyer Landscape & Design in Moline and 6 years at Sunnyfield Greenhouse & Garden Center in Galva. I was lucky to have jobs that I really loved! 💚 Actually though, I've been working with plants since I was 17 years old so that would be over 50 years! The ability to fully focus on the shop in Bishop Hill is quite exciting! First we'll finish planting 80+ flats of flowers and lots of seeds! Next, we plan to develop more gardens/display space in the barnyard. We will have more consistent shop hours soon. I'll be posting an update! 🌼🙂🌼
