Nothing says “Spring!” like Baby Chicks and Baby Bunnies.
Well, I guess cute little kids (goats and human kind) come to mind.
Today is the first day of Spring also known as the Spring Equinox, meaning the
perfect time for Balance of Life and thinking about planting trees and flowers,
putting in your vegetable gardens and Easter. Most southern farmers and
gardeners don't plant until after Easter, even though the actual date for
Easter changes every year. If you don't know this, Easter is the first Sunday,
after the first full moon, after the Spring Equinox. It can be after March 21
to late April.
Our Spring here at Woodville Ace Hardware is hopping with
lots of baby chicks and beautiful flowers, bedding plants, landscape and fruit
trees as well as Bonnie’s vegetables. Our Garden Center is open with outside register
on Saturday and Sunday, but always available 7 days a week.
Next week, Thursday March 29 we will have ducks, silkies and bantams,
and lots of chicks coming in! Soon we will bring in turkeys and guinea. We
offer lots of feeds for your animal needs as well as garden supplies.
Our big spring event! Chick Day, Tuesday
April 10th (6:30 pm) when Dr. Patrick Biggs will be here from
Purina Nutritional Center. It will be an event you will NOT want to miss! His
talk will be about Backyard Flocks and Keeping your Chicks Healthy.
In November 2017, I had the experience of a three day
workshop in St. Louis with Dr. Biggs and the Purina Team, including a visit to
The Farm. It was a workshop I will never forget, I was in my Chicken Element. We
are so fortunate to host Dr. Biggs here for his “Flock Talk”, at Woodville Ace.
His only Florida engagements will be here and in Jacksonville.
Come on in and enjoy Spring at
Woodville Ace Hareware!
no...we don't have bunnies
