Here's a bit of a belated Hello from us.
Our business is the Garner Greenhouse and we're located in Garner, IA. Population, all of almost 3K.
We own a greenhouse / retail flower shop / landscape / lawn care company.
On the 'about us' side of life. My wife Jayme handles everything on the cut flower side of our shop though I do all of the casket sprays. I myself deal with pretty much everything else. We've only been in the industry since mid '04. Prior to that my wife was a domestic engineer, and I was CTO for a technology provider in Wichita, KS. We moved up to Iowa for my family and purchased the greenhouse thinking "how hard can it be?".
Talk about being wrong.
We received almost no training from the former owner. So we've spent alot of time on the internet learning everything we can about the industry. And I can honestly say there's nothing I'd rather be doing. Of course there's a lot of stress, but there's nothing as enjoyable as owning your own business and having fun with it.
