One More thing we can do to help our Community…

buy me PLEASE Niagara Flower Growers’ Easter orders have been cancelled due to the circumstances created by C-19. They have over 13,000 pots to sell.

Kari will deliver directly to your home. No order is too small. They are coming straight from the greenhouse. At a time like this who wouldn’t be grateful for a bit of cheering up…think about dropping off a Hydrangea on your neighbour's porch or deliver to a family as an Easter gift.

Here is what is available.

4" pot - $4.00 Pink, Blue
6" pot - $7.00 Pink, Blue, Purple
8" pot - $10.00 Pink, White, Blue

They are pot covered and sleeved.

Accepting e-transfers karijuras@gmail.com, then putting your order at your front door, ringing bell, and leaving, to ensure social distancing.

If you would like to order, please email me size, quantity, and your address.

Thank you
