After a very long, much awaited delay, we are exited that our first bee colony will be joining the nursery in about a week! 🐝 in the meantime, we will enjoy and appreciate these wild and imperatively crucial members of our ecosystem 💚🌺🖤 #GreenEffect #Nursery #Greenhouse #Bees #Bee #Coneflower #CutFlowers #Bouquet #CutFlowerFarm #FlowerFarm #BuyLocal #OnondagaGrown #FlowerFarm
We’ve gotten lots of rain and the bachelor button patch need to be both harvested and deadheaded. We didn’t pick them for a while because it had been so hot, it would have been too stressful on them. Because of that, some blooms started to go to seed and needed to be removed to encourage more flowers. This time lapse shows just one harvesting round. When you consider the hours and hours invested from planting seeds, caring for seedlings, planting the plugs out. Watering, weeding, harvesting and arranging, the $15 bouquet that lasts a minimum of 7-10 days is a steal!! 💚🌺🖤 #GreenEffects #Nursery #Greenhouse #FlowerFarm #Flowers #Bouquet #Florist #BachelorButton #BuyLocal #OnondagaGrown #Summer
How do you get a 75’ long row of flowers ready for a snowstorm? You get out the stakes, bricks and frost/snow fabric and you cover all your spring bulbs that have already set buds. Making sure they’re all going to make it through for you to take home in beautiful bouquets in a few weeks! 💚🌺🖤 #GreenEffects #Nursery #CSA #CommunitySupportedAgriculture #Bulbs #Daffodils #Alliums #CutFlowers #Bouquets #SnowStorm #BuyLocal
So we’ve mentioned that honeybees will be joining the workforce around here 🐝 and in the preparation process we were able to get some abandoned hives to reuse with new colonies. Well, to our surprise, the abandoned hives were full of honey and wax! So, after screening and packing, there was about 60 lbs of “found” honey! New bee colonies will be moved in around the end of May. 💚🌺🖤 #GreenEffects #Nursery #CSA #CommunitySupportedAgriculture #Honey #Bees #HoneyBees #BeesWax #BuyLocal
Wish we could really plant that fast! About 40 flats of CSA cut flowers and veggies all seeded. There’s still more to do but we’re gonna take a break from seeds and pot up a few hundred dahlias for the afternoon.

Here is part of the reason why we are “Green” Effects! 💚We try to minimize our impact on the environment whenever possible!
It’s been both sunny ☀️and snowy ❄️here in Pompey so that means having to keep our 14 kWp solar array of 40 panels clear of snow so it can produce energy ⚡️
This system was installed 2.5 years ago and powers our house and all the needs of our two greenhouses (heating, ventilation & lighting). During that time, we’ve saved over 60,000 lbs of CO2 from entering our atmosphere which is the same as planting over 450 trees! 🌳👏🏻
