Menzies' Natives Nursery

I learned that the owner of this business is descended from a long line of horticulturists reaching back to the 15th century. Owner Robert Menzies is dedicated to living up to his family history, and to supporting sustainable gardening and land stewardship, as well as to educating the community around these areas. Currently the business is open on a by-appointment basis, as a response to the economic downturn, but despite this I was offered excellent prices on potting mix and at-cost containers (that had been used by the nursery, not new ones.....) which is certainly more than I can say for the other local outfits, which are not open at all during the winter and which do not have the same attitude of local support I found at Menzies. He volunteered information of local value about when to plant out vegetables and herbs etc. I am very grateful for this business's existence in my area!

I do not qualify as a visitor to the actual site, as I am building in Weed and have been doing research. However, the Website is concise, well organized, and informative. The information ranges from philosophy to fact, practices to experience. The business itself offers a range of experiences that educate and support clients in an eco-friendly and responsible manner.

As for other centers in the Mount Shasta area, neither Spring Hill nor Native Grounds offer websites(which would be helpful). I have visited their locations in person, and they have much to offer. Menzies takes it to another level by introducing its products and services and presenting a range of programs for the community. I found this useful, and I look forward to consulting with Menzies when I visit Weed later this Fall.

P.S. Possessive its has no apostrophe.
