I would love to know the highlights and landmarks of how Garden Crosssings began and grew. Did you know you would get this big, when you started out? Congatulations.🙂🙂
Heidi and Rod. I'm sooooo not jealous lol. We moved from Illinois 24 years ago to the South East. I do not miss snow, muck, blizzards, 20 below zero temperatures or shoveling snow, driving in white out conditions and severely icy roads. Or the fact that most employers still expected you to get to work lol. I haven't touched a snow shovel in 24 years. And if there's even a small hint that we're supposed to get inclement weather, the whole state shuts the blinds, rolls up the sidewalks and shutsdown. Lol. Illinois is like the second flatest state in the country and the blowing & drifting snow was always just unbelievable. But.... we are supposed to be dropping down in the low 20's tonight and rest of the week. I'll happily take that and very rare occasion of flurries lol. Than suffer through another harsh winter. Seriously though, I will be keeping you all in my prayers along with all my family back home. Another plus to our location is that we are far enough inland that we don't need to evacuate during hurricane season 😊❤. We do however have to dodge very occasional times of tornadoes. But in Illinois, seemed like we spent half the year in the basement 😂😂😂😂. Be safe!!!!
Hi Heidi and Rod, Thanks for explaining certain aspects of the greenhouse. Not sure why I found myself covering my eyes when Rod opened the garage door…🤣 Stay warm!
Heidi and Rod, Wow! Thanks for this great, informative video! It’s an aspect of managing a garden center that the consumer rarely sees. I appreciate your explanation regarding “real” snow and lake effect snow. Fascinating stuff! The part of the video where you’re driving to the greenhouses reminds me of the weather where I grew up. Everyone had a true respect for the potential danger of driving in a snow storm. We navigated with caution, as you did. Stay safe! Congratulations on 25,000 subscribers!❤🎉 👍
OMGoodness .. I am setting here in my warm house in central Ohio getting cold watching this video ... Hang in there it will be Spring before we know it ... !!!
Good morning Heidi and Rod, I hope everything goes well with all of your greenhouses. I am looking forward to all of your videos this coming spring with all of your new plants, and seeing how all the new shipping areas comes together. Northern Illinois here and we only got 1 ft accumulation so I really feel for you guys.
I am so tired of the snow. Lol! We got a large dump of 'heavy' snow last night. I am loving your videos of this big project. Can't wait to see some flowers in those green houses
So informative! I’m from the deepest and most southern coast of Al. In 83 years I’ve seen only one real nice 2” snow!! I have grandchildren in Michigan and they are accustomed to this too. Hope everything will be okay with plants and buildings!
Wow Heidi and Rod 🌻. in the bast we have aheavy snow ,now with climate change ، we get light snow but not every year. Take care and have awarm week . 🌻🌺🌻
You forgot to mention those crazy snowmobilers! My son in law is one of them. I haven't been out since Friday - it's now Tuesday morning, and cabinfever is setting in
Very interesting, even for a Michigander. With the big lakes “warm” this year that can bring lots of lake effect. Good to hear you did not get a lot of the heavy wet stuff.
WOW, thats why I moved to Florida, so I can garden all year! Spring iS soming soon!!!
We were recently in FL and I loved all the tropical foliage.
Thank you, Heidi and Rod, for another interesting video. And congratulations on reaching 25,000 subscribers! Well deserved!
Thank you so much. I did not notice until you said something. It is because of plant lovers like you!

Here is a video that may answer some of those questions: ruclips.net/video/lfNs3G3mt-w/видео.htmlsi=kURBhYVhFTxPveio
Great video 😂 ❤😮at least you guys seem to know what to do in snow covered roads and greenhouses 🥶
LOL, yes this much snow would have shut down some areas for days. In Michigan, it just another crappy day. 😂

Oh to be where it is warm. I would love that right now. Enjoy a bit of sunshine for me.
Praying for your safety and your business!
Thank you!
Hoping all goes well with the greenhouses!
Thank you. So far so good.
Hi Heidi and Rod,
Thanks for explaining certain aspects of the greenhouse. Not sure why I found myself covering my eyes when Rod opened the garage door…🤣
Stay warm!
That has me laughing. 🧐 It could have been a avalanche

Thank you. We are glad to show the behind the scenes.
OMGoodness .. I am setting here in my warm house in central Ohio getting cold watching this video ... Hang in there it will be Spring before we know it ... !!!
I cant wait until spring. Well maybe I can.
Sending warm and fuzzy feelings from Los Angeles ! 🥶😎
Oh I wish I was feel some of the warm and fuzzy. Enjoy your ☀ for me.
Good morning Heidi and Rod, I hope everything goes well with all of your greenhouses.

You are not too far behind us. I think we are around 22" now.
I am so tired of the snow. Lol! We got a large dump of 'heavy' snow last night. I am loving your videos of this big project. Can't wait to see some flowers in those green houses
Thanks for subbing. I will be sure to show the beauty once it begins to sprout.
My goodness Heidi & Rod! I remember you showing us the snow on the greenhouses last year. But this year you have more greenhouses! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, we ran out of room last year. Always trying to grow more plants for people like you.
I placed my preorder last week!
Wow Ms Heidi it's so beautiful greenhouse and all the snow. I'm in zone 8 Texas we hardly ever see snow. Gorgeous on all the Trees. Thank u😊
It is beautiful for a short time.
Here it has been snowing as well 🌨⛄️❄️☃️ but of course not as much as in Michigan. Stay safe and warm. Greetings from another Heidi 👩🌾🌸💕
HI Heidi! what state are you in?
So informative! I’m from the deepest and most southern coast of Al. In 83 years I’ve seen only one real nice 2” snow!! I have grandchildren in Michigan and they are accustomed to this too. Hope everything will be okay with plants and buildings!
I think I could be a southern girl😉 but I probably would miss the 'seasons'. But I would really enjoy your winter season.
Wow lots to think about
SO much more than just growing plants.
Oh Heidi we have the same situation the worst part is so windy 60 to 70 miles per hour. Stay safe and warm. ❤️🙏
Oh yes wind is a double hitter. We has some wind but nothing that was too crazy.
25,000 Subscribers!!! Congratulations!! So very well deserved! LOVE this channel!
Thank you so much!! It is because of viewers like you!❤🌼❤
Snow is a big hassle, lol. Something we have deal with though. Warmer days are ahead!
It just part of being a Michigander.
it looks amazing❤
Thank you. I hope you are no talking about the ❄😂
Hi 👋 stay warm!!! We got tons of snow (outside Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦)
Oh I bet you did, we sent it your way 😂
@@gardencrossings 😂 I don't know about you, but I'm already done with this weather.,,,bring on Spring.
Margie- we are finally getting sun herr in Kansas city after several days of beloe zero. Today 15 degrees feels fairly good!
Well I can hope the sun is on its way- Heidi
Wow Heidi and Rod 🌻. in the bast we have aheavy snow ,now with climate change ، we get light snow but not every year. Take care and have awarm week . 🌻🌺🌻
Thank you, we are looking forward to a warmer week.

I have never been on one.
Very interesting, even for a Michigander. With the big lakes “warm” this year that can bring lots of lake effect. Good to hear you did not get a lot of the heavy wet stuff.
The lake effect machine is in full on snow mode right now.
If that were Seattle…there would be cars abandoned all over LOL
That is too funny, I can only imagine.
I will be stopping this spring......
Make sure to find me and say hi!
@@gardencrossings Do you offer a lot of perennials? Are your green houses open now? I just found you today and I am delighted.
Great video. What is your average annual snowfall?
76.9 with the worst of it usually in January and February. we got around 22 in the last 3 days.
@@gardencrossingsI spent my college years near Lake Ontario. I remember the days of lake effect snow. Stay warm and think spring!
