Who are you? 🫵

Do you prefer going to the Farmers Market 🥕 or visiting a Farm stand?👩‍🌾Or both?

As we prepare for the upcoming season we have some great things in mind but we will want your input so we can better serve our community. Tell us what produce/items you want to see at the farmers market or farm stand?

We are happy for Cyndi and Lyman but so sad to see them go. We loved working with them and seeing the beautiful arrangements they made with our flowers.

A Message from Cyndi & Lyman:

Good morning to our wonderful customers, friends, and supporters,

After much thought and consideration, we, Cyndi and Lyman, have made the decision to retire and close Ecker’s Flowers & Greenhouses, effective February 1, 2025. This marks the end of an era for our family business, which has been a part of the Ecker family for three generations.

The decision was not made lightly, especially after 50 years of “living and breathing” our business, but after careful reflection, we know it’s time to step away and embrace this next phase of life. We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and loyalty you’ve shown us through the years—whether through the good times or the challenging ones, such as floods and the pandemic. Throughout it all, we have been privileged to stand by you during some of life’s most meaningful and emotional moments, creating friendships that will last a lifetime.

Until January 31, 2025, we will continue to offer full-service floral and greenhouse services. We would love for you to visit, enjoy our space, and bring home a bouquet or plant during this final month. We truly cherish the connections we’ve made and look forward to seeing you at Ecker’s before we close our doors.

As for the future, while we are excited to have more free time, we can’t imagine our lives without flowers and plants, so we may look for ways to stay involved in the floral world in some form.

Please know that we will continue to fulfill all upcoming events, weddings, and Flower-of-the-Month subscriptions. Gift certificates will also be honored through January 31, 2025.

Thank you for your loyalty, your support, and most of all, for making Ecker’s a special place for all of us.

With deep appreciation,
Cyndi & Lyman

One of my favorite things to make during the holidays are clementine wedges dunked in dark chocolate. It’s so simple and so good.

I hope everyone is enjoying their traditions and family and we wish everyone a Merry Christmas! 🎄

I can’t help but look at bright pictures that remind me winter doesn’t last forever and I will be outside where I was meant to be!

I hope everyone stays safe today.

Thank you to everyone who has dropped off leaves for the garden! We were able to spread what we had yesterday before the rain. It will be great cover for the winter and add organic matter to the garden. Once it dries out in a few days we would love to have more!

Last arrangement of the year! I was missing fresh flowers on my counter so I had to scrounge for these beauties.
