Sometimes, some of the best ideas are also the simplest, and instituting the honor system this past summer has been one of our best ideas ever. I’ve joked with customers that it’s like magic—we unlock the door in the morning and there is money in the slot!

In the past, we tried staying open in the late summer into fall but it was never worthwhile to pay an employee to be there for the limited amount of product that we would sell. Enter the honor system. We get to grow some beautiful fall mums, asters, and perennials, and it suddenly becomes more worthwhile because of the lower overhead. And you get to beautify your fall garden with the quality plants you’ve come to expect. The response has been wonderful. We’ve had numerous notes in the money slot thanking us for providing this simple service. The prices are rounded off with tax included to keep things as simple as possible.

So, we wish to thank you for your support and honesty in this endeavor.
