Mother's Day! Gift Certificates! Hurrah!

Like the rain that will soon be coming down on our fair island, we at Edgewood are getting pelted with holidays. First Easter, then Passover, then Administrative Professionals' Week and now Mother's Day on Sunday, May 11th. We're not complaining, though, since just as the rain strengthens the growing grass and ushers in a fruitful Spring, a series of successful holidays provides us with the income that cushions us during the leaner months of the year. I just had a Murray moment with that analogy. Sorry.

It's a lovely time to be at Edgewood, actually. For the past three weeks, our greenhouses have been crammed to the rafters with flowering plants of all kinds. Our fridges have also been overflowing with seasonal cut flowers like tulips, hydrangeas and Brenda's favorite, stock. She does love stock. The recent balmy weather has seen quite of few of the Edgewood faithful stopping by on their strolls around the neighborhood or pulling up in their cars. Here's a peek into what they've come to see:







So, Mother's Day. The Edgewood clan is fortunate to have many mothers amongst us, and they all have to work on May 11. We do, however, close at 1:00 on that day, so they can go home and be with their adoring families, as long as they do a thorough clean-up before leaving. But what is being a mother without having to clean up, right? Kind of goes hand-in-hand. We are also anticipating warm, sunny conditions on that weekend, so that we may celebrate our mothers in friendlier weather than we did Easter. Yeah, Easter was kind of gross.

And how will Edgewood be helping you celebrate Mother's Day? Our blooming plants, all at their peak of beauty, are pretty much a no-brainer, and can be kept outside to enjoy for months and months. We're also very happy to have finally made our gift certificates available for purchase on our website; those who can't decide on what to choose can give the gift of an Edgewood shopping spree.

So? Coming over?
