It is with some apprehension and sadness I bring some news
about Camino Garden Center. Some have heard the rumors, and know what I
am about to write. After 23 wonderful years serving the people of Pollock
Pines, Camino, Placerville, and the surrounding community, we are shutting our
doors. On August 29th we will open 10:00 to 4:00. All nursery product will be 50% off until
gone. No refunds or deliveries.
Economic conditions, weather, and age have taken its toll on
all of us. It is with bitter sweetness that I tell you; we are starting a
new chapter in our lives. Our community is more than just customers; you
have become our friends. You are as much of our family as anyone
else. We have dined together at the local pub, and visited each other’s
homes. We have seen so many of you grow from children to parents and
grandparents. Watched your gardens grow and bloom. We have memories
that will last us all the rest of our lives.
Some of you know that I have already left for a job with the
State of California. I miss all of you. I won’t go into names
because there are just too many to do so. I feel we have gotten to know
each other over the years. We know the plants, tomatoes, and soil we have
in each other’s gardens. We have shared more than just business, we have
share a part of our lives.
John and Lori are going to finally retire and pursue some of
their own passions in life. Dad will finally have the time to spend in
his own garden making it as pretty as you probably have imagined it to
be. Mom will go on to be the supporting wife she has always been through
this adventure.
Thank you so much for supporting us through out the
years. Each one of you has touched us all
in memorable ways.
