Creekside Festival Roundup

The Creekside festival went way better than we expected. Having only advertised the event to our mailing list customers we didn’t know what to expect. Just after 6:00 pm they started arriving and didn’t stop till it was over at 9:00. We will definitely make this an annual affair. Here is Sundae the cat greeting people. We have four cats who follow you around the nursery.


Here is Kristiana and Denise pouring wine for David Girard Vineyards. Kristiana is an artist who lives in a Silver Stream Trailer she has remodeld. Her business is Silver Trailer . Denise is our web master. Her business, River Coyote Designs built our web page and e-newsletter. Thanks to both for helping out.


This is Woodsong Herb Pharm, run by our friends Steve and Julie Baldwin.


White Bear Studio is run by Mark and Barbara Noack. It was also Mark's Birthday which added to the celebratory mood.


Our friend Julie manning the front gate and enjoying it! Local wine was the common theme tonight.


A truck loaded and ready to roll! The owner was proud that it had lichen growing on the metal. He said he was "lichen his truck more and more." We had a sale where everything in the nursery was 25% off! We managed to clear out lots of plants that we don't want to have to over winter. People loved it.

Monica managed to pull me from the wine glass long enough to help write up some customers. I would check the receipt later if I were them.

The next day we hosted 70 El Dorado County Master Gardeners for their annual picnic!

It was a great weekend! Now we have some time to recover as our next big event is the Fall Festival in October.
