In the Beginning
In 1911, Allen, Sterling & Lothrop opened a farm supply and seed store on Exchange Street in Portland, Maine, later moving to the triangle at Federal and Middle Streets. In 1969, due to an urban renewal project we relocated on Route 1 in Falmouth.
Over the years we have evolved into what we are today - a four season garden center, seed house and nursery.
Our wholesale department serves the needs of the greenhouses and garden centers in southern Maine and parts of New Hampshire as well as supplies Maine's many landscapers.
We welcome your visit to our retail garden shop, greenhouse, and expanded nursery where you will find a large selection of accessories for your garden and home. You will also find gift giving for your gardening friends fun and easy.
I offer a poem for February...
ReplyDelete- by Sara Teasdale, February Twilight
"I stood beside a hill
Smooth with new-laid snow,
A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.
There was no other creature
That saw what I could see--
I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me."
