On an all too frequent basis here along the Farmington River, we are experiencing floods on an almost annual basis, since the '100 year flood' of 2007.
2011 has been no exception.
Earlier in March, we were once again deluged. The record-breaking piles of snow melted, the rains came, and we found ourselves underwater once again. Ugh!
We are constantly reminded in this business that we must respect nature and there are some things that we can not control. The river is powerful and we try to respect her and listen to her. We are unfortunately experienced at surving floods... and so we survived another one!
Happily, we are putting that nightmare behind us and gearing up for Spring!!

You are so close to the river it must be nerve wracking each spring. I drove by and saw you are dry, even though the river is still so high.
Are you open? I'm awaiting garden center season, and assume you'll be fully operating April 1.
Hi Laurrie!
Thanks for checking the blog out!! We did experience some flooding for a few days, but all is dry now! We are opening Monday,April 4 officially! The clean up put us a little behind, as some water did come in the store...nightmare!
We look forward to seeing you soon!!
Happy Spring!!
