"I don’t mind the dummies. Honestly. They only occasionally move around on their own."

Snippet from Lucy’s journal…

Ok, here we go again!  Me and my dad are trying very hard to talk my mom out of bringing those stupid dummies up from the basement this summer and putting them in the backyard.  "Oh, but they are a part of our family … " my mom whined. (Oops, I didn’t mean to say that … it just slipped out!)

My dad and I looked at each other.  It’s like he was reading my mind ‘cause he said. ‘Well, maybe this year Lucy and I would like to have a little more input on this dummy thing then we’ve had in the past.  What do you say to that?"

My mom said N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!  Not a word.  She just looked at us.  After a few minutes of the LOOK (seemed like hours to me) my dad said, ‘Well, Lucy, I think we just got our answer."

Me and my dad quietly went to the basement.

Till next time!

This week our featured associate is Jesse.  He has been with America’s Best Flowers since 2005 and is a Lead Retail Worker.  He began as a cashier and has worked his way up to his current position.  Jesse has several different roles, some of which include providing excellent customer service, purchasing of products, training new associates each year and cheering on the crew.

Jesse enjoys working at America’s Best Flowers because he loves being outside and working with all the plants and customers.  He says “it’s so much fun to see the new varieties each year and to see our customers enjoying our fabulous product”.

His favorite plant, at the moment, is an annual called Digiplexus.  He loves it because it has a beautiful orange and purple color that reminds him of a sunset.  Jesse enjoys container gardening with annuals and also growing veggies he can enjoy all winter.  His other interests include art and photography.

The road construction on Cottage Grove Rd and Stoughton Rd (Hwy 51) may change the route some of you will take to get to the greenhouse this year.   See this article for information.

Since Southbound entrance and exit ramps onto 51 will be closed, those coming from the north will need to get off Hwy 51 at the Milwaukee Street exit.  Go left (east) at the bottom of the exit ramp and stay on Milwaukee St. until you get to Sprecher Rd.  Turn right (south) go to the first stop light, which is Cottage Grove Rd.  Turn left (east) go 1 mile and then take a right (south) on Vilas Hope Rd.  We are down one half mile on the right.  Hope to see you soon!!
