Bulbs are Expected to Arrive Monday October 24

We are hopeful that our flower bulbs will arrive in Denver midday on Monday. Monday will entail primarily putting the bags of 100 bulbs each in the order we find them on the order form and making sure we got everything we ordered. Then we will start counting into individual small sacks. Hopefully.

we can start filling orders Tuesday afternoon and complete that on Wednesday, having the bulbs ready for pickup and delivery on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully.

This all happens at the City Park Greenhouse at 2500 E. 23 rd Ave., just east of York. It’s easier to see coming from York than Colorado Blvd. Just keep going if you are coming from Colorado Blvd. We work from 8:30 a.m. (for you early birds) until 3:00 p.m. We must leave at 3:00 p.m. because the greenhouse opens very early and closes early. We cannot work or pick up on weekends.

Please let me know if you are planning to work. We need workers, but too many can get chaotic, and chaos can lead to errors and struggles for space in tight quarters. The greenhouse can get extremely hot, especially if it is a sunny day. Plan to dress accordingly. We have to stand on cement to do our work, so also wear comfortable shoes.

We will get it done. We always do.
