After a brutal winter it's been difficult for a lot of business's to get ready for spring Jeff Doherty of Angels Garden Center said things are coming a long but running a bit behind; "we're having a real tough time with getting mother nature to corporate with spring, we're about 4 weeks behind." Jeff mentioned the Center had to reschedule a lot of deliveries until later; "I think we need a coupe real nice, warm sunny days in the 60's to convince them that they can do planting outdoors, or at least convince them they can get out in the yard and do a cleanup."
Jeff mentioned that they started off the season selling pansy's because they do great in the cold; "my mom and dad when they started the business 60 years ago, planted pansy's in the ground in the fall...we used to sell our 1st crop of the year which were hardy pansy's for 50 cents for a till of 6 plants, things have changed considerably since then, we still start off our season with pansy's because they just love the cold."
Jeff mentioned that with the few glimpses of warm weather things have started to pick up and the staff is excited for the season to come. For more watch the interview below.
