Thanks to those who responded to the previous message.
The situation is fluid, shall we say, re how our local vendors can respond to “opening” for business.
In the news today, Scott’s Nurseries is still abiding by their "order ahead and pick up in the parking lot “ plan until they can establish a safe method of shopping inside their greenhouses and shop.
Halifax Seed will offer shopping in their outdoor centre sometime in May and have an order ahead and pick-up system in place for now ( 633-2032 ).
Brunswick Nurseries ( 847-8244 ) opens on April 24. Here is a message from Duncan Kelbaugh,
“ Customers can shop in all our outdoor displays and greenhouses, practicing social distancing. The only places closed to them will be the sales office and bathroom, for the protection and separation of customers and staff. We will use wireless scanners and debit machines to conduct the sales with proper separation, and in the outdoor air as much as possible.
The Corral petting farm will not be open and no ice cream for sale until further notice, and we ask parents not to bring kids to the garden centre during that period.
We have plenty of plants and bulk gardening materials in stock now and look forward to the spring season. There seems to be a real strong desire for the public to get going in their home gardens! “
Duncan is right; we all want to get going. Stay safe, Pat McGill
