our History
Around the end of August 2019, Tod and I were trying to decide on the perfect flowering shrub to place at the corner of our newly renovated "party barn." I told him that I knew exactly what I wanted there, and we hopped in the truck and went out to Angles Nursery. My mind was envisioning the gorgeous display of flowering shrubs I see nearly every day on my drive home from work on Route 68.
When we pulled in to the entrance, there was a small hand-made "Business for Sale" sign out by the mailbox. I remember we both looked at each other with wonder in our eyes. We asked the lady working for information about the business, and left our information for Tina and Steve to call us back. Then, we left with a beautiful cone shaped hydrangea. |
On September 3rd, 2019, we went out to actually meet and speak to the Angles' personally. When we walked outside to leave, the most amazing full rainbow embraced the property. To me, it was a sign.
It was a long, exhausting, roller coaster journey. From expressing our desire, to actually signing our lives away. But we are so excited to see it all come to fruition on Friday, April 10th, 2020 when we officially opened for business!
