Wisconsin’s recent cold snap has had gardeners longing for spring weather. Now is a great time to support independently-owned greenhouses and garden centers.
For those looking for a no-contact shopping experience, given the current COVID-19 pandemic, many locally-owned greenhouses and garden centers are offering curbside pickup.
“So far, we have had our busiest start to the season yet,” says Franz Weding, owner of Schulte’s MicroFun Greenhouses and Fun Center, 811 E Wisconsin Ave, Pewaukee. Weding noted that customers can browse Schulte’s website, for inventory. Because of high demand, he added, shoppers must place curbside pickup orders over the phone. Schulte’s is also offering shopping by appointment from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. daily. For more information, call 262-696-6342.
