2021 Spring Season Nearing an End

UPDATE: Last Day of the Spring Season is Tuesday, May 25th!

WOW! Thank you for the last crazy few weeks! We hoped we had planted enough to make it to Memorial Day, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case. This picture is ALL of the geraniums we have left. And we’re out of baskets. And spikes. And vinca.

We still have great stuff, but not nearly as much as normal for this time of year. And there is no more. The plants are gone. Believe me, I’ve asked around!

So, while we would love to be open and have everything you want through Memorial Day, that just isn’t going to happen. I’m going to guess with the weather forecast we will be out of plants soon.

This coming weekend (May 22-23) may be the last. We hate to disappoint our customers, so if you still need to come in, please don’t wait too long!

And YES, we are still requiring all customers to wear masks!

In-Store Opening Delayed; 2020 Spring Online Store Available!

UPDATE!

Online and phone orders are now available.

As of March 28th, here is the current plan: I will not be opening the greenhouse for in-store shopping in April. I’m just not willing to compromise the health of our employees or customers. But I also understand that we need food and flowers in our lives, and fresh air, physical activity, and the hope that only gardening can bring.

With that in mind, we will be updating the website with order forms soon. The first form will be seeds, with Cole crops and other early offerings to follow soon, then perennials, etc. The greenhouses are full, and the plants are ready, so...as soon as we can get everything set up online and safety plans in place, we will start selling.

Hopefully this will be ready by April 1st. More info. to follow as soon as I have it.

Gardening Therapy at Hillside Greenhouse

So it’s April and it’s snowing, as I’m sure you’re all very well aware. Like many of you, I’m itching to get outside. My lawn needs rolled and mowed. I have a few shrubs and trees I’d like to put in the ground. The calendar tells me it’s time to be working outdoors or at least walking through the woods looking for mushrooms. BUT THIS WEATHER!

This got me started thinking about how much people need to be outdoors, and how much better we feel after getting a little “fresh air.” Many customers in the greenhouse tell us how good they feel when they’re out in their garden or flower beds. There’s a real connection between humans and nature. For many of us, this connection is lacking, distorted or gone completely. Our gardens and flower beds are living things that we care for, nurture and watch grow. Turns out, for many folks this can have very real positive effects on their mental health.

A short search on Google Scholar shows there is no shortage of scientific research on the links between gardening and mental health. Here are just a few:

There are multitudes of reasons to get outside and plant a garden of one kind or another. Research shows it helps relieve anxiety and helps people cope with depression. Gardening as a group has been a very useful tool in mental health facilities for helping patients communicate and reduce stress. Who wants lower blood pressure? Who wants a better night’s sleep? We all could use these things. The research shows you don’t have to have a green thumb and sprawling manicured gardens to benefit. Even caring for a few herbs or flowers in a pot indoors can be helpful.

Conveniently, at Hillside Greenhouse, we have everything you need to help keep you sane! We can help you pick out some plants and/or seeds and the soil and containers to put them in, if needed. We have tools to make the job a little easier and quicker. Basically, we’ve got everything you need, except the warm weather and rain. Mother nature will come through with that…eventually! If nothing else, when you stop at the greenhouse you can look at and smell all the pretty flowers; it’s a great pick-me-up on these miserable winter-like days!

Hope to see you soon!
