As I was mowing the one day, a memory came back to me. I was probably 12-14ish, and I was working land with the Ford tractor (same one we use for hayrides). As you know, this land has lots of hills. I somehow got hung up on the hill and couldn't go any farther. Right around where the garden center currently sits, because my dad, at that time, was working as dairy manager at Dutchway (the old Dutchway where Ice Shack and Ace are) and would look out to check up on my progress. He saw my predicament and came and got the tractor going again.
As I was thinking on that particular memory, I thought that young kid certainly never saw into the future and thought someday I'm going to build a garden center here.
But life happens, and I want to thank you for your support of my business, and thank you for coming out for another fall fun weekend, even if it was a tad chilly.
Two more weekends of fall fun! Be sure to stop out if you haven't yet! Friday 4-9, and Saturday 10-8!
