Every gardener in the panhandle has been itching to don their gloves and set their trowels to work planting, but the weather forecasters keep cautioning against it. Well, it now looks like the wait is over, and Panhandle Special Needs, Inc.’s Greenhouse is more than ready to provide them with an abundance of plants for all gardens.
Opening May 6, the Greenhouse, at 1424 N. Boyer Ave., Sandpoint, will be open from 10-4, seven days a week.
“When I took over the Greenhouse six years ago, the clients and I had fifty baskets to sell. We now have 400,” Work Services Manager Kim Derr said. She and PSNI clients, all adults who are developmentally challenged, made 87 of the baskets. The rest were procured, but it’s been the diligent watering, deadheading and gentle caring that has made them all flourish and ready to grace your home.
