Oh Rochester, Rochester, how did your garden grow?

It’s a longtime Rochester cliché, “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute, it will change”. Not true in 2025! Winter was very consistently cold and snowy which pleased the “Snow Angels” but when April showers came, they never went away until summer. It was the 9th wettest May in history, and the soil was much too wet to plant.
The best description is from the poet ee. cummings, “In Just- spring, when the world is


“mud-luscious and “puddle-wonderful”, yet by 4th of July, the “weeds” wilted because it was so hot and dry.

As the days shortened and temperatures cooled, for expected fall planting weather, what happened? Nothing! It was the 2nd driest September in history. Now we are off to another lovely, magical “Snow Angel” winter which we hope you enjoy or migrate south like a bird.

The above may sound like a complaint, but we are honestly thankful to you, our customers, who decided to skip gardening this year and hired our staff who love their chosen career. We have the freedom to work outside through the cold, rain and sweat inducing heat of summer. We get to see the sun, breathe fresh air and celebrate that glorious days of October before playing and resting through the winter.

We wish you all a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year. We will see you in 2026

Sincerely, Yours for a Greener Future
