Possibilities...

IMG_0167The future looks bright. We sold our house, just one more step in the right direction. We have constant thoughts and ideas running through our heads...ideas on ways to improve the nursery, ways to make it ours.  Here are a few, some feasible, some dreams.*start up a small greenhouse*have annuals and flowers in the spring*an apple orchard*aesthetically: pick up the place, organize, make signs for the customers*a parking lot*a gate at the end of the drive and a sign for the hours*get honey bees for honey*sell local goods (honey, crafts)*sell wood working Dave does in the winter (ie pallet wine bottle/glass holders, bird houses, etc)*Computers to ring up the customers (and maybe iPads?!?)*a new building for employees (break room, bath room)* a room in that building to hold classes on canning, planting, wreath making, etc*a place to hold outdoor gatherings, possibly wedding receptionsI also have dreams to connect with local businesses and get information out to local people about keeping things local. Buy your food (veggies and meat) from the farmers markets or local farms.Lots of dreams. Lots of possibilities.
