Introduction
When you walk through the vibrant aisles of J & K’s Four Seasons Floral and Greenhouse, you’re not just buying plants; you’re stepping into a story. The hanging baskets, patio pots, and annuals that fill your garden with life and color didn’t magically appear overnight. Nope!

From the first seed planted in February to the final flourish of blooms, we do it all right here.
Curious about the behind-the-scenes magic that makes our garden wonders possible? Let’s dig in—pun intended.
The Journey Begins in the Fall: Planning Makes Perfect
Great gardens don’t just happen. The preparation starts long before the first frost melts.
Fall Planning: As soon as summer wraps up, we’re already thinking about next year. Which plants were crowd favorites? What new varieties can we introduce? All these questions guide our planting decisions.
Inventory Check: We assess what seeds, plugs, and supplies we’ll need to create another year of garden masterpieces.
Scheduling: We map out every step, from planting dates to when those stunning hanging baskets will be ready to grace your patio.
We Do It All Right Here: It All Starts in January
Unlike big box stores that rely on pre-grown plants shipped from who-knows-where, we start from scratch.
Step 1: Seedlings and Plugs
Planting Seeds (February): By early February, our greenhouses come alive with activity. Each seed is carefully planted, watered, and placed in the perfect environment for germination.
Plugs: For some plants, we begin with high-quality plugs—tiny plants that are just getting started. But don’t be fooled; they need just as much attention to thrive.
Step 2: Hauling and Filling Containers
Hanging Baskets & Patio Pots: In early January, we haul in baskets, pots, and bedding plant containers. Each one is filled with nutrient-rich soil, creating the perfect home for our plants.
Custom Designs: Every basket and pot is meticulously planned to ensure a stunning mix of colors, textures, and blooms.
Growing Strong: Care and Nurturing
Once the seeds sprout and the plugs settle in, the real work begins.
Watering: Plants are watered daily (sometimes twice a day) to ensure they stay hydrated and healthy. Overwatering? Not on our watch.
Fertilizing: We feed our plants with just the right nutrients to encourage robust growth and vibrant blooms.
Eliminating Weak Plants: If a plant isn’t thriving, we remove it. Only the best make it to our shelves.
Temperature Control: Our greenhouses are monitored 24/7 to maintain the ideal temperature and humidity levels for each plant variety.
The Big Payoff: What You See Is What We Have
Here’s the beauty of buying from J & K’s Four Seasons Floral and Greenhouse: there are no surprises.
No Shipments: We don’t bring in finished plants from elsewhere. What you see in our greenhouse is exactly what we’ve grown ourselves.
Locally Grown: Every plant is acclimated to our local climate, so you can trust it’ll thrive in your garden.
Quality You Can See: From the vibrant hues of our hanging baskets to the sturdy roots of our 4.5″ annuals, the quality speaks for itself.
Why Do We Do It All Right Here?
It’s simple: we believe in offering the best.
Control: By growing our plants from start to finish, we control the quality at every step.
Sustainability: Locally grown plants have a smaller carbon footprint than those shipped across the country.
Community Connection: As a local business, we’re proud to serve our community with plants grown right here, not in some faraway greenhouse.
