I don’t know about you, but I’ve received coronavirus emails from just about every business I frequent. But I was mildly surprised to receive emails from one of the nurseries I frequent.
And I was especially pleased with their down to earth tone. So far I’ve gotten 3. The first was sort of a keep- calm-and-garden-on type of note. Calming and reassuring, not corporate sounding, just a nice note to their customers reminding them of the joy plants and gardening brings. So true.
The second one offered free delivery with a $25 purchase and the offer of curbside service. Today, they informed they are cancelling all events until May at the earliest.
What are your local nurseries doing?

Sadly, retail nurseries in the most urban areas are closed. I am not certain about the wholesalers in Southern California, but my colleague is still working in Los Angeles.

I think they’re doing all they can to keep business alive

Our local garden centers are staying open, at least so far. They are cancelling some activities and urging customers to be “mindful”.
