Announcement about Bob's Hill Country Gardens -- and Bob's Organic Garden
Greetings neighbors and gardening buddies!
After many months of negotiations, it appears we will not have the opportunity to purchase the retail division of Hill Country Gardens after all. Bob and Eileen have moved out of the nursery and as of Saturday, September 16, we turned the daily operations back over to Mr. Schumacher. We are sad that things couldn't work out, but we have received many kind wishes and appreciate the support so many of you have given us.
We are returning to our old company name, "Bob's Organic Garden."
Some positive things have come out of the past few months and our involvement at Hill Country Gardens, not the least of which is bringing the organic message to all our customers, new and old. It's an important endeavor, one that takes care of the earth, saves money and water, and provides better conditions for your plants to thrive in. Many of our customers have adopted an organic program and are starting to see the benefits in the health and watering needs of their plants and turf areas. We hope you've received enough information to adopt organics for your own landscape and gardens, and that you'll continue to spread the word.
We have nurtured the nursery into a new phase -- it's cleaner, healthier looking and in better repair. Our staff – Kathy, Ashley, and Katherine – worked very hard to weed the demonstration gardens and other areas, and Bob and his crew repainted the building, installed new security lighting and much more. So it's been a productive year, and we're happy that our customers will have a nice place to shop in the future.
We have enjoyed serving you over the past several months. After we rest up a bit, Bob will begin looking for another location where he can open his nursery and continue the mission of providing native and xeriscape plants, trees and flowers, as well as organic products and gardening information. As a Texas Master Certified Nurseryman, Bob has a passion for plants and we won’t be able to keep him out of the nursery business for long! So look for good things to come.
In the meantime, Bob continues to design and install custom landscapes in and around the New Braunfels/Garden Ridge area. You also can see him on the lecture circuit with local garden clubs, and he's always happy to help with gardening questions or information about organic methods.
We will continue our "Blog" at http://bobsorganicgarden.blogspot.com/ so check there for monthly news and updates.
Feel free to call our home office anytime at 830-624-7666 with questions or if you have landscaping needs. You also can email Bob at bobsorganicgarden@gmail.com.
Thank you for your patronage and your friendship.
And remember – “Go Organic!”
Warmest Regards,
Bob & Eileen Fitzsimmons
