Why does an elderly man who admits to knowing nothing about flowers walk empty handed through our doors only to leave with an odd assortment of flowering plants? As a business, a greenhouse exists as a place where one purchases plants to beautify their patios and yards or fill small gardens with vegetable plants for a head start over seeds covered with dirt, but I've discovered it to be much more.
I don't need to be told by the elderly person why he is here, I can see by the teary eyes and sad smile. One can only imagine the emotion, memories long past, a flower pot filled or a garden bed planted, joyously reliving a moment shared, not to be as it was.
Many times there have been squeals of delight as a familiar face is seen or a voice is recognized from an aisle over; happy reunions common and arguments rare. And it is not always about discovering the newest, fashionable plant, or the desire to find a vegetable plant worth the sunburn and mosquito bites. It is a place where the futures and the past come together. We hope you make this summer one to cherish because of a greenhouse.
