For the last week, I have been working part time at the most gorgeous place I have seen in a while. The atmosphere is amazing and relaxing.
When you pull up, you are welcomed by nature.
After you park, there is so much to see. The colors pop all around and invite you to explore.
The center building is also a little gift shop that has the small country store feel. The displays draw the eye.
After visiting the gift shop, which also carries Yankee Candles (sorry, no picture of that lol...and sorry for the finger in the edge of the first greenhouse picture, I just got so excited lol), there are so many areas to explore outside. There are 3 green houses on the property where workers start the process of growing the flowers, herbs, and veggies they offer for sale. There is also a nice selection of large trees, rose bushes, and other ground coverings.
Inside the green houses is an abundance of color, plant life, amazing smells, and gorgeous colors.
The character of the place is unmistakeable. While walking around taking pictures, I ran into a few friends. The resident feline is Buttercup and the resident guard dog is Daisy. Buttercup wanders around the grounds protecting the plants from raiding cats and other undesirables. Daisy helps watch over the floral department and the gift shop asking for friendly head scratches from guests who enter.
After a cold sap, most of the lovely plants were moved inside the greenhouses, but the grounds are still beautiful and relaxing. Some of the pictures with the flowers out were taken before the cold sap that happened mid week and some were taken afterward, but the grounds are still too gorgeous not to share.
Not only does the ambiance help you to create the beautiful garden of your dreams, there is also a section that handles bouquets, special occasions (like prom), wedding flowers, and funeral displays. The floral department offers both silk and fresh flower arrangements. Here are a few examples of the lovely creations my boss created this week (this is the area I am working in and loving it).
