Bob's Awarded Operation of the Year!             


This past weekend representatives from Bob's Market and Greenhouses, Inc. traveled to Columbus, OH to take part in the OFA Short Course.  As I mentioned last week we grew the plants feature at Dummen USA's booth at the trade show.  Pictured is what the finished product looked like.


This year we were also proud to be awarded Operation of the Year for 2011! Operation of the Year is an award sponsored by BASF and Greenhouse Grower magazine.  The award is peer-nominated and recognizes modern growing practices, high quality products, strong customer service, and community and industry leadership.
