Our first garden trip is featuring Mennonite greenhouses located by Ionia & Elma, IA and included is a family style meal at E & E Confections for lunch. (LIMIT OF 25 GARDENERS PER TRIP DUE TO TRAILER CAPACITY).
Muffins & water will be served for a morning snack on our way to Cedar Falls for a restroom break at McDonalds. Our first greenhouse is KR Greenhouse and is known for their hanging baskets (over 3,000), succulents, tropical plants, garden art & geraniums. We then travel just a bit to Hoover Greenhouse where they are known for their large hanging basket choices. Edna will have lunch ready for us where we will enjoy a family style meal and we all know how “yummy” it is – be sure to bring along your appetite!
Our coach will take us a couple miles down the road to Windy Ridge Greenhouse that offers a variety of hydrangeas, perennials and bedding vegetables!
A quick stop for a restroom & evening snack before arriving back to Newton to unload our plants!
Just a reminder that a truck & trailer will be accompanying our group to house your purchases (not responsible for loss of plants or breakage of items purchased.) Each item must be labeled with a return address label for verification when unloading the trailer – so bring plenty of labels! Seriously, bring lots of labels!!!
