Forest Lake Greenhouses
Forest Lake Greenhouses supplies plants for local theatre and symphony performances, as well as mailing information-packed newsletters and postcard coupons to people signed up on their mailing list. Tim and Lisa plan seminars and workshops for children and their parents. Forest Lake’s Kids’ club meets yearly with activities in the past that have included a pansy planting party, making pinecone birdfeeders, and planting seeds. While children gaze into the fish pond or participate in events like “Fire Safety Saturday” or “Pet Day,” their parents can attend gardening seminars. One recent program brought a chef into the greenhouse to show gardeners how they can cook with fresh herbs. “We want to keep making the garden center a fun and educational place to be,” Lisa says.
