It's not 6 more weeks until spring...its only 22 more days! That's right! Spring is coming to Otten Bros. starting Thursday, March 3rd through the 5th!
Announcing a fresh concept, 
something never before attempted in annals of Garden Center history, a first-of-its-kind event, don't try this at home - we're professionals, sound the fanfare, bang the drums, part the clouds and the hear the angels sing, its...
FLEA MARKET UNDER GLASS!
Before you shrug your shoulders and say, "huh?," let me explain.
Winter is just plain too long in Minnesota. By the time March rolls around, many of us are going stir crazy, there is still a foot of the evil white stuff covering the ground, and no spring in sight. We're ready to get out and get gardening but the weather just won't oblige. Otten Bros. Garden Center and Landscaping & Sue Whitney of JunkMarket Style (JMS) have decided to do something about this horrible cold dilemma.
This year we wanted to get a jump on spring, turn all those frowns upside down, change the color of the winter blues to green, create a bit of march madness, provide the cure to spring fever and, well, you get the picture...
Otten Bros. & JMS will be will be turning our dormant 15,000 square foot greenhouse into a hot-time, old-school flea market with Sue's undeniable talent for stylish recycled garden décor and Otten Bros. gift for all things green and growing.
Shop Flea Market Under Glass
Thursday, March 3rd thru Saturday, March 5th
Break out your shorts and flip flops and shop your way through top notch flea market vendors, landscape experts, birding authorities, and plant professionals. Otten Bros. will also be showcasing what's piping hot for spring 2011 along with pansies, to-die-for succulents, fairy gardens, terrariums and other new stuff to whet your spring whistle.
JMS and the best flea market vendors from Minnesota and the surrounding area will converge for the occasion. Shoppers will be sure to uncover some uncommonly good treasures in this not-so-garden variety selection of junk. There will be plenty of vintage finds for your garden and outdoor living spaces. Even if you're not the outdoorsy type, there will be plenty of goodies to take away for your home décor!
Lastly, Otten Bros. and JMS will team up and take center stage at the event. You'll find us smack dab in the middle of the greenhouse stirring things up a bit. Otten Bros. new products will be commingled with vintage goodies and styled in beautiful vignettes. The careful combinations of old and new will provide inspiration to show goers and help them create gardens and outdoor living spaces that are imaginative and unique to their own style.
