corona virus standstill

Good Monday morning. I wish I could say we are able to open OWL CREEK PRODUCE AUCTION for flower and vegetable plants this week as scheduled. The Morrow County Health Department has advised us NOT to conduct auctions until this corona virus pandemic lessens. Please continue to check this blog for information.

Our grower's greenhouses are full of spring flowers and garden plants. I encourage you to stop by their locations for your early season needs. If you need contact information for them, contact me at 740-627-1660 and I'll be glad to help direct you to growers.

Thanks for your patience and understanding in these crazy times. Practice "social distancing" and stay well.
