This is definitely an unprecedented time and here at Trees Today we are concerned mainly with the health of our customers and our staff. We will be following the CDC recommendations to help keep our environment safe for all who are here.
Our growers and suppliers are assuring us that all is well on their end and they will be shipping as normal. We are excited and can’t wait for all the new plants and products that will be arriving at our garden center next month.
In this time of “social distancing”, we are encouraging those around us to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with your families. It will be a great time to plan some spring plantings, do some research on some possible new plants for your yard or even draw up a new design idea you have been thinking about.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you soon. Take care of yourself, your family and your friends.
