From growing plants and creating custom-designed planters, to taking care of lawns and landscaping, to cutting and flocking Christmas trees, the Gilmore Garden Center has grown with its customers over the past 11-plus years and now has some new space to show off what they have.
The Garden Center will be having an open house this weekend, April 23-24, where visitors can shop in the new greenhouse and can see what owners Mike, Pat and Jason Schall constructed during the past year.
“We added a little space to make the aisles easier to get through and also added an automatic roof vent because we needed a better cooling system,” Jason said.
“It is connected to a computer system that is linked to a weather station which automatically runs according to the conditions inside the greenhouse, so we are climate-controlled as we need to be for the optimum utilization of the plants,” he said.
“It also makes it more comfortable for customers to shop,” Pat added.
