Burlington Farmers Market Rate Increase and Resolution

As of the beginning of March this situation was resolved. We came to a fair, reasonable rate increase that benefited everyone. Thank you for the community support....
You may have heard about the new Rate increase the city of Burlington wants to put on the farmers market. But if not, they want to raise our rent 400%. Please view the news clip: http://www.wptz.com/video/18779105/index.html
The Painted Tulip depends on this market for 1/3 of our income we are disturbed that the City of Burlington has attached random figures to our rent increase. Feel free to complain to the Department of Parks and Recreation , City of Burlington.

Seed Starting

We started our season in our new grow room on Feb. 1, 2009. It is small but mighty, giving us a jump on the season for those: pansies, lobelia and perennials. Starting March first, we open the Greenhouse and the real fun begins. The earlier we start the seeds the happier I am. Nicole, loves seeing green and working in the dirt when it is frozen outside.
