Today is Thanksgiving Day.  Dave and I have so much to be grateful for in life and in our business at Pleasant Hill Nursery.  We are immensely proud of our nursery.  It has been nearly thirty years in the building process, many of those years were tough.  Some were incredibly stressful.  For those of you in the nursery business, you know this is not an easy way to make a living - especially this year.


When I returned to the office today, I was thrilled to see Nancy's latest container design. She created two planters that are now on each side of our office entrance.  In the center of the pot, is a Boulevard Cypress ( Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Cyano Viridis' ) that is pruned up a ways to expose the lower trunks.  Around the base of the plant, level with the container edge are a Wooly Thyme and Irish Moss.  A simple design but it definitely makes a statement.


I often say this to people I know but I want to say it publicly.  Pleasant Hill Nursery has the most amazing group of people working here.  Every day I feel pride and gratitude for the employees that make up our team.  They are passionate about what they do.  They care about the customers we have.  And they treat our business as if it were their own.  As a business owner, what more can you ask? 


For years we've heard stories of nurseries and other businesses having unexpected OSHA inspection visits. Last week was our turn.
