Corky’s Garden Path Greenhouse is gearing up for an early Easter this year, looking forward to colorful blooms that define the holiday.
Trevor Kashuba, one of the owners of the business, said he is especially grateful that the business can offer Easter flowers this year, having been closed for Easter last year because of the pandemic. Kashuba is also looking forward to providing plants for this year’s growing season and to assisting customers with their flower and vegetable gardens.
Although the business on Justus Boulevard has a gift shop filled with colorful merchandise perfect for every occasion, as well as tools and fertilizer, Kashuba emphasizes that the business focus is on growing plants.
The business started in 1948, with Leo Anderson, Kashuba’s great-grandfather, and just one green house. In 1950, a second greenhouse was added – one of the largest freestanding greenhouses at the time. Currently, the business has 14 greenhouses, kept busy most of the year to provide a constant flow of plants for customers.
And when the temperatures rise and people are ready to give the gift of flowers and to prepare their flower and vegetable beds for planting — Corky’s will be there, not only to offer plants but also advise about everything from planting seasons to the perfect types of plants for your backyard.
