As the holidays near, I see everyone stressing over decorating their homes so that they are perfect when family and friends come. I have had customers racing in last minute for a poinsettia or an amaryllis as they need a hostess gift plus they still need to make several other stops before heading home.

Breathe, Breathe. 

The holidays should be a time to reflect on the past year and enjoy quality time with the family.

In Northern New Mexico, in addition to decorating our homes for the holidays, we also focus on catching up with family. No matter whose home you go to, you will be greeted with a bowl of posole, some tamales, empanadas and Biscochitos. A win-win situation.

This year we have seen tornadoes, floods and fires. All of these events impact what plant material we can get and when. The poinsettias, no problem, we have been growing them since July. We do have some cactus left but these come from Florida and many of our suppliers lost inventory due to the storms.  

Thank you all for supporting a local business. Payne’s has been a family run business in Santa Fe for over 70 years. We love that you come to us for your gardening needs and look forward to you coming in to see what we will be growing for Spring and Summer.  

Breathe, Breathe.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
