We had 30 days to plan an outdoor wedding for my granddaughter. The wedding was planned for October 3, 2009 down on Cape Cod in Barnstable MA. Seeing it was a fall wedding, what I had in mind was yellow mums and fall kale. We discussed our plans with Bob, the owner at Velvet Greene and he said he knew just what we were looking for and had the mum stock we were looking for. He recommend the late-blooming yellow mums from Belgium stock that he had that would most likely be blooming at the time that we needed them. He said he would put aside the 16 mums and 6 kale that were looking and that he would keep them in his greenhouse and out of the weather. He mentioned that the only thing he couldn’t grantee was that they would be in full bloom when we need them on the wedding day because that was up to the Good Lord and His weather. We worked with the Green Thumb Florist, which is next door in the same complex for the wedding flowers. The Green Thumb Florist agreed to deliver the mums along with the wedding flowers to the wedding site the day of the wedding.

Well, I can’t tell you how beautiful the mums and kale were. They were all in full bloom and had to be at least 24 inches across. They were magnificent and wonderful. The wedding flowers were also just gorgeous and very unique. The price was very reasonable, the work was outstanding and the folks at both establishments were so friendly and corporative. I would recommend them to anyone.

This store opened again this year for gardening needs, but was closed last year for the 2006 gardening season. They were open in 2005 but didn't have a lot to offer. This year in 2007, they did a slight remodel where they built a new outside office where you can ring up your purchases. They have waaaaaaaaay more stuff than in the past and their prices are reasonable. Convenient wagons to pull along with you so you have a place to hold your purchases. I'll definitely be back again.
