Instagram post 2182076086739802460_1285004457 Have you heard about the seed shortage with Asparagus Ferns (Sprengeri)? We've got the lowdown on how that happened. PanAmerican Seed is the major global supplier of these seeds. According to president Anne Leventry in a GROWER TALKS interview, this year's major shortage is the culmination of a several year shortage at their Linda Vista facility in Costa Rica for stock plant production. Sprengeri is a crop that’s always been handled pretty nonchalantly—at least compared to how PAS produces its flowering crops. A few years ago the decision was made to replace the existing crop, and plant in a larger more structured plot. Production has also been spread through several locations to minimize crop loss affecting seed availability. They are optimistic that Spring 2021 will be fully supplied. That's the 2020 Sprengeri story. We still have a few trays (double digits) available for sale. Let us know what we can do for you! #AlwaysGrowing #micandy #micandygardens #puremichigan #sprengeri #panamericanseed #greenhouse #asparagusfern #youngplants #2020crop #flats #grgram #florist #flowerfarm

These winter planters will be ready for all the santapplause at the Santa Claus parade in downtown Grand Rapids on the 30th! Maybe he'll ride his Holly Davidson before he heads to his ho-ho-ho-tel, for a night of listening to wrap music. Hopefully he keeps his sleigh out of the snow-parking zone. Let's also hope RUDE-olf will mind his manners. If these puns are sleigh-ing you, and this preview has you seeing red, you should pop over to check out the real thing on Monroe Center. They'll be in place for the Santa Parade, but if you're claus-trophobic, they'll be up all winter to bring you joy. We're sure yew will be in love at firs sight. #AlwaysGrowing #puremichigan #grgram #puremichiganders #hudsonvillemi #greenhouselife #micandy #micandygardens #santaclausparade #christmaspuns
Instagram post 2177751971673413246_1285004457 It's National Recycling Day! A little boy walked through on a tour last winter, and contemplatively asked the question: "Why is all of your trash all matchy-matchy?" Our answer is that we're super committed to recycling here. Micandy Gardens is constantly working to reduce our carbon footprint and be excellent environmental stewards. So, we match up our recyclables and send them on to where they need to go to be recycled. From the batteries on our walkie-talkies to our dried-out markers, from unusable tags to broken liners, we are committed to keeping as much trash away from the landfill as possible. We're doing well, but we know there are always areas for improvement. We are always on the lookout for ways to answer our calling to care for the earth. #AlwaysGrowing #micandygardens #micandy #puremichiganders #michigram #carbonfootprint #environmentalstewardship #nationalrecyclingday #doitfortheplanet #hudsonvillemi #environmentallyvarified

They're still in the greenhouse day after day, working toward being a beacon of warmth, kindness, and joy in a world that doesn't always see that as strength.💕 💕So for this special day, let's all get on this bandwagon. Let's share kindness with our friends, our neighbors, our co-workers, and random strangers who cross our paths. 💕Let's practice kindness so hard today, that we forget it's practice, and it becomes a part of who we are. Let's be kind to others, but also gratefully take the grace offered unto us. 💕Let's honor those who have modeled this for us, and follow in their footsteps. Let's embrace the peace, and hope for a world where kindness is celebrated every day.💕 #AlwaysGrowing #greenhouselife #greenhouselifestyle #puremichigan #waybackwednesday #hudsonvillemi #mlive #flowerfarm #cultivatejoy #worldkindnessday #micandy #micandygardens #grgram
