Elm Street Gardens Débuts At April Furniture Market








Above:  Loading up the bonsai

This morning was spent loading up a van full of Elm Street Gardens’ produce and bonsai plants bound for the semi-annual International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, North Carolina.  Along with music from a bluegrass band, the Currey & Company showroom will feature food centering on our garden offerings for lunch on Friday this week.  Megan and Brad had a record harvest of greens and copious quantities of fresh herbs and carrots that were loaded into large coolers for the journey to caterers, Mark and Anna Thrower, in North Carolina. 

And family bonsai expert and Currey & Company president, Brownlee Currey, was on hand to put the final touches on trees from the bonsai collection that he and Robert have nurtured over the years.  This bonsai collection has been a regular part of the Currey & Company showroom décor for many years and it now resides on Elm Street during off-show times.  Brownlee selected the trees he had manicured for their High Point run and Brad and driver, Franklin, helped to load them into the van along with the veggies.  Market is always an exciting time for us and Robert and I are pleased to have Elm Street Gardens be a part of Currey & Company’s market presentation!
