In looking forward it is sometimes good to reflect on the past. This past year at Blumenflor has been a year of blessings! This little garden center has grown. The metal building was finally enclosed from the front after 3 years of waiting. We now can have our Farmers Markets inside when the wind is howling outside. A routine is falling into place... January and February we are closed for general maintenance, March - October Farmers Market the 3rd Saturday of the month, CSA pickups Saturday mornings May-October, tree orders come in Spring and Fall , rose bushes for May and in between we seed,grow, propagate, transplant, weed, garden and of course serve our customers with a very knowledgeable staff. Our blessings this past year: finishing the Metal building. Providing vegetables to our CSA members for 25 weeks, we missed one Saturday because our Manager was getting married. We now have a 4 lane highway in front of our business! No more watching our customers wrangle the traffic to try to turn into our driveway praying for their safety! Spring Sales up especially the Mother’s Day roses which are special ordered from Tyler Texas each year. We are extra blessed with employees who have a high standard work ethic! Re doing the plastic on our greenhouse was a challenge but it turned out better than expected. Building the vendor stalls in the Metal building using pallets. Reuse, redo, recycle, use what we have is our motto. Laying all the drip irrigation in the gardens and rolling them back up and organizing them for the winter. Seeding, seeding, seeding. Transplanting, transplanting and transplanting! Love our team members, they are the best! So very thankful for God’s protective hand in all our work. We look forward to a year filled with joy and pride in our work. Hopefully more blogs will be made and time found to inform our customers of the happenings here at Blumenflor.
