Our going out of business sale is still going on . The road work was not made known to us, so unfortunately it is making it a little harder to get to us. You can get through, better from the west end by Mulholland than M15. They told us this morning when we sought them out, 6 weeks. 😕

Well it's official. Our retirement/going out of business sale begins Tuesday, October 7th. Hours are from 10-4 Tuesday-Friday, Saturday 10-2. The sale continues for the next 2-4 weeks, or whenever we sell out. Lots of great deals on our remaining inventory as well as some of our store display fixtures and other miscellaneous items.

Dear friends and customers of Country Garden Flowers.
We have a special announcement to make. 42 years ago on this date Country Garden Flowers was established. It was a foggy morning and exciting day for all. Many of you know that where Country Garden Flowers stands, it was a cow pasture with an old wooden barn next to it. It also was turned into a baseball field where we played a lot of games with the neighborhood kids. Today 42 years later, we are officially announcing our retirement. It was a very difficult decision for both of us to make. We are both in good health so we want to take advantage of that of the years we have left. If you are believer, you know you have a limited time on earth, and when your time comes there's no denying it.
We want to thank all our loyal customers over the years that helped us be a success. Without you we would be nothing. We have made a lot of great relationships over the years and you can't place a value on that.

We are working now at getting the store together for our final clearance sale. We will keep you posted on the dates. We will not have any fresh flower sales, although I have a fresh crop of homegrown sunflowers that might be ready, fingers crossed. Share this post with your friends and family to keep them updated. Thanks again. See you soon.🙂

Don't know if anyone in our area had their bicycle stolen, but I found one this morning laying in our raspberry patch out back. I reported it to the Sheriff Department and they will be picking it up. If you recognize it go down there to pick it up. Portsmouth Township.

We have about 3 more weeks of our summer vacation to enjoy before we reopen the 1st week in October. It has been really nice to have this time off and I think I'm going to have be retrained when I come back.
I think I have mentioned this before, but we have been transitioning towards an unknown retirement date over the past couple years. September 30th will be the start of our 43rd year. When we reopen in October, we will resume our schedule of being open Tuesday thru Thursday 8:30-5:30, Friday 8:30 til 1:00pm, closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. After Christmas we plan on being closed until April when we re-open and will stay open through June.
I know some of you may be disappointed with these hours of operation as they might not be customer friendly, but we are just doing what we feel is right for us at this stage in our lives. You never know when you might get that call from our Lord saying: It's time to give me a hand here and I need you now. So that's our story right now.
We are both healthy and want to enjoy full retirement in the next year if it's possible. Just want to be open and honest about this so no rumors are being spread. See you in a few weeks. Thanks for reading my (our)story.

This is a Begonia pot of 3 begonia plants started from seed. The seed looks like a speck of dust. This planter measures a good 3 feet across. What a great value! Try your hand at starting your own seeds at home and see what you can produce. By the way, this is a new variety of begonia that was introduced this year. I thought I'd try my hand at it. I am truly impressed with it. Don't say to yourself - Oh I couldn't grow that. Try experimenting with different plants, varieties, and seeds. There's a whole world of seeds out there to experiment with. Give it a try. You can do it!

This is one swedish ivy cutting in my hand. The other picture is a swedish ivy plant in a 12 inch pot, full and overflowing. In about 4 months time you can grow this same plant. Why not try your hand at taking cuttings of your favorite plants. It may take longer depending on the time of the year and what kind of plant you're taking cuttings of, but what do you have to lose. Get down and dirty and play with your plants. Let's have some fun!

We were lucky enough to have a robin choose to make a nest on the elbow of our eavestrough at home. Followed it from from little eggs through birth. Got to watch mother robin search for worms for the babies then feed them. Also got to watch one of the little ones make their first flight from the nest. It's the little things in life that are so interesting and fulfilling.

Well it's official. We are now closed for our annual vacation. What's a little different is this year we will be closed an extra month so we are closed July, August, and September as well. We'll reopen in October. It feels like retirement is getting closer. We want to say a big thank you to all our customers that bought our beautiful home grown plants from our greenhouse this year. This is by far our best crop we have ever grown and such a stress free season. My (our ) prayers were answered in overwhelming fashion . Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
