We just celebrated our 2nd anniversary at the Golden Gecko Garden Center a few weeks ago. I found some before and after photos of the nursery. When we were building the facility I had to remind myself to stop and take some photos. I knew they would be fun to look at later.
When we bought the property we found this willow, just about to fall over.
I thought it would be safer to cut it down, but fortunately was convinced to try and save it. We put a brace on one end,
and give the tree a haircut in the winter. It has become a favorite of our customers and guests.
Sometimes you get so involved in what your doing that you don't realize how far you have come. 
We love this place, and enjoy adding to the beauty of the location.
