Description:
We have a full service garden center that includes all the plants (many grown on sight), supplies, and expert advice needed to be a successful gardener. We have a full service florist shop complete with delivery and 1800flowers affiliated wire service. In the fall, we operate a GPS designed corn maze. At Christmas time we sell poinsettias grown on sight as well as real & artificial trees, ornaments, and hand tied wreaths and grave treatments. Our business is placed in a rural area that hasn't been hurt by the economy quite as severely as the rest of Michigan and our products and services are meant to fill in under-serviced niches that people must travel elsewhere for. We are a steadily growing business that has done a good job of keeping expenses within bench marks and continuing growth in sales every year(18% increased sales in 2009 with some segments as high as 66% growth). We have a beautiful new facility that we constructed before opening. Our company could use just a little help to get us "over the hump" to profitability.
