Well crap - Bakerview Nursery closing in September

Bakerview Nursery & Garden Center is one of the jewels in Bellingham. Staffed by people who know their plants and service is beyond what most places have. From their news page:
Bakerview Nursery & Garden Center marks final season
Co-owners Larry & Toni Clark today announced that summer 2013 will be the final season of operation for Bakerview Nursery & Garden Center. This locally owned and operated nursery & garden center has been a long time popular destination for gardening enthusiasts. The Clark�s have made the decision to retire to spend more time with family and friends. Final day of operation will be September 30, 2013.

"Bakerview Nursery has given us and our children a wonderful healthy life for the past 42 years. We have enjoyed teaching and sharing our gardening knowledge with employees and customers all these years. We have met many wonderful people and have enjoyed seeing customer�s children, visit us when they were young, and then grow up and become homeowners and gardeners themselves,� said Larry Clark. "It was a once-in-a-lifetime dream to create one of the most beautiful full-service garden centers in the state. Toni and I made it happen along many wonderful employees. We had the opportunity to live out our dream and consider ourselves truly blessed. We thank everyone who shared in our success.
I wish them all the best and 42 years is a good long run but still, this is going to leave a great big hole... Posted by DaveH at July 29, 2013 7:30 PM
