We Give Thanks
Tis the season of holidays. Of all the ones that breeze by this time of year Thanksgiving is one of the sweetest. It's a time to gather friends and reflect on all the good blessings in our lives. So we give thanks... thanks to all the folks that have come through our lives and shared their passion for gardening, nature and love of the good life. We're richer and happier for it.
We know your life gets crazier at this time of year, with places to go and things to do. Remember to stop and take a moment to enjoy what it's all about. If you get a chance, come visit we'd love to see ya. We'll be closed on Thanksgiving day, but here the rest of the week. If you've got family in town, bring them by, the gardens and nursery are a wonderful place to take a stroll. The citrus are ripening and the tasting table is loaded with home grown goodies we'd love to share with you.Hope to see ya soon.....
Happy Thanksgiving
