A Bouquet of Gardens

2011 promises to be a big year at the Prairie Pedlar with many goals on the horizon. We hope to have a new entrance to the
greenhouse area in place by the time the season opens on April 1st. An eight-sided granary is being erected to house the cash
register and provide a showcase space for new merchandise. This “grand central station” will be the point of welcome where
customers pass through to get to the greenhouses and gift shops.  In addition, a new greenhouse is awaiting its plastic cover and
will be operational in the early spring to allow more bench space for starting seedlings.  Throughout the spring and summer, we
hope to devote free time to the serious restoration of the barn that is located in the NE corner of the acreage. The first order of
business will be to straighten the roof and apply new tin.  Extra roof material has been ordered with the intentions of adding a south
lean-to onto the building at some point.  Cooperation from Mother Nature and the family construction crews will dictate how far we
come in one season, but I’m hopeful everyone will be having so much fun they won’t know when to stop!  I’m also wishing for a lean-
to on the west side of the corncrib for the storage of reception tables, wedding chairs and all of the things that go with outdoor
entertaining.  Expect the sawdust to fly at the garden this summer!

Our enthusiasm for the spring season might be contagious! If you are feeling an itch to play in
the dirt or have developed a spring fever that will not subside, you have all the symptoms. A trip
to the Prairie Pedlar is a perfect cure!
