Yesterday while walking around our garden center at Potomac, I glanced down at my phone and noticed that it was Oct. 22. How did that happen? Wasn't it just a week ago we had our Gardeners' Night Out in September? These last few weeks have gone by in a blur. But it was getting darker and the air was brisk and all the Fall decorations were out so the date must be right. Halloween is around the corner and then we will be planning our Thanksgiving dinner. Next week I will be with my 19 month old gr andson when he goes trick or treating and I can't wait. Memories are made with the click of a cell phone or a camera, and I for one cannot wait to share photos of my grandson in his Halloween outfit!
This coming Saturday, October 26, at our Beltsville location, we will have face painting from 1 to 4 and the kids can play in our Free Fall Fun Area. Plus, from 5 to 6 we will have our Halloween Parade for Children!
Do you have any Fall memories you would like to share? We would love to see them. Just use #behnkes on Twitter or Instagram or find us on Facebook under @behnkenurseries..
