Trick or Treat!


Well, this is really late in posting but we have been busy. First I would like to post some pics of an important tradition in the Barn/Kusmerz family: Pumpkin Carving. The first pic is of the founder of the Barn, Len Kusmerz with his kids Tom and Sharon. The second is of the current generation, proudly presenting their pumpkins.


The second item of note regarding the Barn family is the most recent edition. Paige Julianne Kusmerz was born on Halloween! She is happy and darling, enjoying life with myself, Danelle and big brother Jack. So far, she sleeps most of the time. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it remains this way.


Enough family talk! I know you are more interested in our landscape projects and updates. Here is a simple update you can do that makes a world of difference. It is a pet peeve of mine: ugly outdated pots and planters on doorsteps and patios. I left a nice restaurant last night and was sadly disappointed that such an upcale restaurant would have dead mums and other withered items in their front pots. Simple Winterscapes are easy to do. You can even trim some of your own berried stems or evergreen cuttings to fill in the dead spots. Or top by the Barn and let us do it for you, or choose from our selection of greens and berries. Don't delay! You never know when I will be stopping by to check in on your landscapes!!


Finally, I would like to let everyone know that the Garden Center's manager, Heather, is back part time from maternity leave. Welcome back, Heather!
