Throughout the years, the owners at Big Bloomers have employed many teenagers as summer and part-time help. They usually end up doing much of the grunt work. Putting up an endless supply of annuals, moving them around here and there and everywhere as well as weeding and a huge list of other chores.
I am still somewhat of a “teenager” in my heart and so I thoroughly enjoy working with them. Too many names, faces and smiles come to mind to name them all but every one of them have brought something unique and singular to our nursery.
This year, like every year, we will be losing some as they leave to make their own way in the world. We will miss each one and are wishing them the very best of everything.
Many of my “Where’s Alley” blogs were from pictures taken by one of our “kids” leaving us this summer.
Over the years her and Alley have created a unique friendship. Alley can usually be found somewhere around Ashley whenever she was working. I think Alley thought of Ashley as her personal publicist considering all the great poses Ashley has caught her in. So for Alley a working relationship turned into a lovely friendship.
One of the last days Ashley was here she “captured” Alley in an extremely rare hiding place. None of us have ever seen her there before.
Can you see her? That pot in the left hand corner.
Ah yes there she is…the little rascal
Can’t you see I am resting…I mean doing some undercover work.
This one’s for you Ashley.

Very Sweet post Sicksta...That Alley is quite the siily cat..
Bet she was trying to call attention to all those pots that need to be sold!
That was such a sweet tribute to your young workers. They bring a special fun element to the job. That sweet little Ally is up to her tricks again. What a life!
