Partnering with "I Have a Dream" Plainfield and Habitat for Humanity

To read the above story, go to our facebook page - notes tab at http://companies.to/parkergardens

We had a great group of "dreamers" in today to tour the garden center, learn about planting for the Habitat for Humanity project tomorrow, and learn about the different career paths that can lead them to working in the green industry.

Every teen left with a plant of their own to nurture and to remember their experience here.

I am so excited about tomorrow!!! I know that the place will look great!

I will post the pictures when they are finished.

Veggies at the Garden Center

We are growing our own tomatoes here at Parkers. Soon we will be able to offer them for sale - fresh, just off the vine.

Is this something that interests you?
Would you be interested in other fruits and vegetables if we were to partner with a local farmer? How about baked goods?

Let us know what you think we should offer. This is really something we would like to pursue but we want to make sure that we have the right mix.

Fertilize Your Plants

As I drive to and from work, I get really frustrated by all of the annuals that are in desperate need of fertilizer. I see spindly, yellow, leggy plants that can still be lush and colorful if only for a bit of fertilizer.

If you made the investment in time and money, why wouldn't you want the best show? Just come on in and get the darn fertilizer.
