View From a Greenhouse

We are back to planting at work. We have about a couple 100,000 plants still to plant. I took this picture down through one of the mountains of plastic trays left to use. On an ecological note, we have switched over to using rice hull compostable pots. They still have to come from China which ain't so great for the carbon footprint but is a better step forward for a business that should be "Green green" to begin with. There is so much garbage generated in the greenhouse business. Lots of plastic. In the past year there has been a real push to reduce waste for a business that helps beautify and replenish the earth. My boss Suzanne is a leader in this thinking. Way to go!


Things are growing at work even though the greenhouses are surrounded by 2 and 3 feet of snow in some places.
