For, lo, the winter is past,<\/em>
The rain is over and gone;<\/em>
The flowers appear on the earth;<\/em>
The time of the singing of birds is come,<\/em>
And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.<\/em><\/p>

           ~ Song of Solomon as quoted by Ernie Harwell<\/p>

My wife will tell you that one of my faults is I love every season that Michigan has to offer.  Even winter, much to my wife\u2019s displeasure.  I do really enjoy what every season has to offer.  They all bring new opportunities, adventures, and pleasurable pursuits.<\/p><\/div>

\"Spring<\/span><\/div>

Spring offers a time for starting fresh.  Everyone is in the mood for new starts.  Windows on houses are open for fresh air to come in.  Dads are out in the garage getting them ready for summer toys to be used.  And landscaping crews are out cleaning up landscapes.  Getting ready to start installing fresh material.  Spring cleaning and spring training.<\/p><\/div>

\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Christensen\u2019s Plant and Hardscape Centers are no different.  Equipment has had all of its needed maintenance.  All of our winter polyhouses are open with the hoops removed.  And load after load of fresh shade and ornamental trees have started arriving every day from all over the Midwest.<\/p><\/div>

\"Christensen's<\/span><\/div>
\t

Spring marks the time in the landscape industry when all of the last season is gone.  Even the memories are fading.  Allowing all of us to start the year with fresh minds full of new ideas for the coming year.  I would urge all of you to go into this year with fresh eyes full of hope, looking for those fresh ideas.  You never know who those ideas are going to come from.  Most often the best ideas come from the least likely of sources.  You need only be ready to realize it.<\/p>

May your year be full of prosperity.  We are here to help all of you.<\/p><\/div>
