The PURE Gardener was chosen to be the location for the first <a href="http://www.cashmob.com/geneva-illinois-cash-mob" target="_blank">Cash Mob</a> in downtown Geneva by <a href="http://retailminded.com/blog/sponsor-cash-mob/" target="_blank">Retail Minded</a>. Although the day was cold and windy the rain that was predicted was a no show! We were happy to see so many customers, volunteers, and staff brave the cold with smiles on their faces! Community support is essential for independently owned businesses in this economy. We learned that many of us live just blocks apart from each other in downtown Geneva, IL and near surrounding communities. Our children attend the same schools. We popped fresh popcorn, ordered <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/moranos-pizza-geneva" target="_blank">Moranos Pizza</a>, and enjoyed the day. We look forward to the next Cash Mob and plan on attending to support our fellow businesses! </div>

<span _mce_style="font-size: 11pt;" class="ccFontUpdated" style="font-size: 11pt;">To our valued customers and friends,<br />
Last month Annette and I were told of a proposal to tear down the historic Pure Gardener building, and replace it with a bank drive through and parking lot. The Geneva Historic Preservation Committee held a hearing February 21, to discuss the proposal. The committee voted down the proposal 5 to 1. Tonight the Geneva Committee of the Whole will Consider Appeal of the February 21, 2012 Decision of the Historic Preservation Commission to Deny Project at 502-14 W. State Street (including proposed demolition of Pure Oil Building). Here is a link to info about the proposal being presented- <a _mce_href="http://www.geneva.il.us/agendas/cow.htm" _mce_shape="rect" _mce_style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" class="false" href="http://www.geneva.il.us/agendas/cow.htm" shape="rect" style="color: blue ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important;" target="_blank">Geneva Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda March 26, 2012</a> .</span><br />

<span class="ccFontUpdated" style="font-size: 11pt;">To our valued customers and friends,<br />
A few hours ago Annette and I were told of a proposal to tear down the historic Pure Gardener building, and replace it with a bank drive through and parking lot. The Geneva Historic Preservation Committee is holding a hearing February 21, at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the proposal. The public is invited to come and hear more about the plan. Here is a link to info about the proposal being presented. <a class="false" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109344898539&s=0&e=001f2O5j54tmmRFIgfv6r2jzXwCAPh_38kZMllmxO_OVbQDS9DRfwqhqmWmoqBQyed94pZ9d-NoFCx0O8PIlGYJ8cQ4qmjENsuIxINfzlLSYBg_xcgzGa-I5zWCD5kDg-G9AM2M-JzyTV2Ly2F9SUSCuDZxv2Ej-N_uHQbmJX1v9c260BuZ3wnE3uGG8h0tujNu" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1329795286_0">CITY OF GENEVA, HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION</span></a> .Below is a press release that we just composed and submitted. <br />
Despite this major distraction, we are excited to announce that............<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>SEEDS ARE IN, PANSIES AND MORE VERY SOON! We will be open this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!!! </strong></span><br />
We hope you are as anxious as we are to get started with cold tough plants. Hope to see you soon!<br />
Annette and Craig<br />
<br />
</span>[This afternoon, we, Annette and Craig MacLean, owners of The Pure Gardener, 502 W. State St., Geneva, were told of plans to replace the building and our current garden center business, with a new bank drive through and parking lot. The project is proposed by St. Charles Bank and Trust, part of Wintrust Financial Corporation, based in Lake Forest, Il, with assets over 15 billion dollars, according to their web site. <br />
The historic building became home to The Pure Gardener, in November 2006, when former owner and auto repair operator Joe Kuchera, sold the building to Joe Stanton. The closing, and later demolition of Geneva Greenhouse on Western Ave, left us without a place to work, but we were able to lease the property from Stanton to open as a garden center, which we continue to operate.<br />
The focus of The Pure Gardener, has been to provide the community with a source of gardening information, and products which are safer, healthier, and more responsible to use. Our slogan, "We give excellent service, naturally", is an extension of our awareness of the superior results obtained through organic products and practices. We do not sell chemical poisons. We freely share our knowledge within our community so that everyone has the chance to be happier, healthier, and more environmentally responsible.<br />
This historic building on the Lincoln Highway Map, and pictured in books and articles, attracts tourists from all over the country every year. It would be a great loss for the community to replace this gem with a new bank drive through and parking lot. A similar former Pure Oil building in Saratoga Springs, New York was faced with demolition in 1976, but was moved and saved for continued use as a viable business.<br />
Annette and I would like to continue to provide our knowledge and service. We are blessed that we can work, live, and raise our family in Geneva. We are grateful for the support of all of our customers and friends, who keep us going.]<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Topsy Turvy's were all the rage a few years ago but last year we were left with a huge pile at the shop (they are still available for a deal). The thing is they really are a good thing. When the ground is full there is no place left but to go up. Plants are less susceptible to mildew and critters on the ground, and harvesting your edibles are a snap! No bending down! I think I will give it a go this year on the side of my garage. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Follow this link for a complete how to guide to make your own. NOTE: We recommended organic when ever possible IE: soil, fertilizer, pesticides :-)<br />

It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. Pay tribute to our men and women who served our country in military service. Many people observe this holiday or remember a fallen loved-one by visiting cemeteries, memorials or displaying red white and blue planters. Our family will BBQ and finally get our tomatoes planted in our garden. I have three brothers who proudly serve our country and my thoughts and prayers will be with them. Whatever you do, please take a moment to think of all the lives that have been lost to fight for our country. And think of all the men and woman that are currently stationed far away from their families. </span></span></i></span>The PURE Gardener, Inc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12482893424179532758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834954102946173256.post-90431042420263820052011-05-20T09:10:00.000-05:002011-05-20T09:10:25.883-05:00Geneva Garden Club Walk 2011<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
