Don’t let me lead you wrong, we do grow and we buy in the premium annuals that we plant in single pots, but the majority of our annual bedding plants are in packs. When you are in the area looking at other businesses, please have a look at what you find. Look at the size of the container, and how many plants are in them. You will see 4 packs, 3 packs, 2 packs, super 4 packs, super six packs, gallon pots of annuals, along side the single 4” pots of plants. It would be hard as a gardener to decide what to buy, how many of the plants and how much I need to do the gardening I want to do. In upcoming newsletters I will write more about the different varieties of annuals we have. I will be posting the information here as I write it. If you wonder if I have a certain annual, or vegetable just call 641-794-3337 or email me at beckmall@netins.net Till next time, Becky and the small crew
I have come to the realization that many of the garden centers that are up in the area buy in their plants. We do raise many of the annuals, and most of the vegetables ourselves. So we are not just an independent garden center we are also a grower. I had a customer came in before the open house, say wow did you get all of these in? " No, we grew them." With growing our own plants, we can plant them into whatever we want to grow them in. So with that in mind. I must have miss the memo that many annuals and vegetables are grown in single pots. When it comes to tomatoes, we have them in super 4 pack, and or a super 6 pack. Just means there is more dirt for the tomato to grow in because the pack is bigger, so better to go into the garden for you. If you want single tomatoes, we will sell you single tomatoes. We can do all of this because we grow the plants here.

Welcome to Becky’s Greenhouse, another season and this starts our 26th year of growing, and 31 years of selling plants. I have learned from growing garden plants, being a Master Gardener, from talking to gardeners, reading many books, articles and looking thru the internet. I have needed material for newsletters, articles for our church and garden clubs, plus writing for my weekly radio show. So all of this has lead to much knowledge that I want to share with you. This year we are offering gardening workshops on many different topics. We will have them several different times to see if we can accommodate all. List of the workshops, and the schedule are in the next pages. Always looking for new ideas, so let me know what you would like to see in future workshops. We also will help you host private meetings for your church groups, garden clubs, women’s clubs, 4-h clubs. We will have a place for you to serve lunch, have a meeting and we can do a private workshop in any area we come up with together. Just give me a call. 641-794-3337 You know I have a degree in education, so always want to educate and teach.
I love growing the plants but the best part of doing this is you the GARDENER. Love to visit with you, love to see how we can help you, and love that you come to Becky’s Greenhouse. Thanks for coming. Becky and the crew Magic in the Air
