Some of you may have noticed that our logo has changed, we hope you like the new look. We lived with our old logo for more then a few decades and as exciting as it was to have a makeover it will always be part of our history. Our past logo spoke of the value we offered our customers with it's string tag look.
 
Our new logo expresses a little more about us. We have kept our colors and our font that is unique to us. The shape was changed to express the circle of life and the importance that flowers and plants and the local florist plays in ones life from birth to death. The leaf was added as a symbol of continued growth, and new life. This leaf holds additional special meaning to us,as the four burgundy sections of the lower half of the leave is a personal celebration of 4 generations of roots in the community.
We take this opportunity to publicly say a warm and enormous thank you to local Fayetteville, N.Y. artist Christopher Perry, for his design capabilities, his professionalism and most importantly his awesome ability to connect on a personal level in order to achieve a logo that would speak of us, and for us. Thank you Christopher Perry for everything you did.
A special thank you also to Bear Paw Printing of
Chittenango, N.Y. for doing our labels and business cards in time-frame that I doubt few printers could ever meet.

Last year we brought to the public a new addition to our offerings, heirloom tomato plants. Our greenhouse grown heirloom tomato plants were a great success and our customers are asking that we once again are a source for heirloom vegetables plants in Syracuse and Dewitt, NY.

We have expanded our selection of garden plants to include other delightful heirlooms including squash, and beans. A list of what vegetables to be offered will be published soon.

We have begun sowing seeds, preparing pots and writing tips for successful gardening. Plants should be ready for purchase in the beginning of May.

Take advantage of the warm days in C.N.Y to begin preparing your garden. Don’t wait until the threat of 20 more inches of snow to pass to get your soil prepped.
As soon as the ground has warmed enough to till you should begin the process. Loosing your soil and add manure, cover with black gardening cloth to kill any weeds and  prevent more weeds from forming. Cool weather plants can be planted a few weeks before the threat of frost has past, so it is important not to wait until Memorial Day to get started. Tomato plants are not cold and frost resistant and can be planted safely, usually just after Memorial Day.
Plan your garden, prepare your soil, gather your apparatus for tying up your plants and get excited to get your garden started.
Vegetable gardening can be rewarding, mentally, physically and without a  doubt financially. If you have never gardened in the past, make 2010 the year that you give it go. If you have had success in the past take a look at at what other vegetable varieties you can add to delight your taste buds
