Spring Ephemerals

April is here right along with our favorite spring ephemeral blooms. Ephemerals pop up to delight us for just a few weeks before vanishing again. A fun way to ring in spring is to head to the trails with the intention of spotting these fleeting woodland wildflowers.

Starting Long Blooming Annuals

Behind the Florist shop here at Michler's, the greenhouses are bustling with the production of new plants that will be blooming in a matter of weeks. A  good portion of these are some favorite blooming annuals. After a long winter, the fresh and colorful blooms will be a welcomed invitation into the warmer months.

Restorative Gardens with Biophilic Design

Like your home, your garden should a place that you can go to relax and enjoy spending time. Biophilic design is the fusion of functionality and natural landscaping which offers you a fresh, restorative outdoor space. A well-designed garden can be a place to sit alone quietly or a festive spot to share a good meal with friends and family.

Bread Seed Poppies in Bloom | Michler's Florist, Greenhouses & Garden Design

Time to Sow Poppy Seeds

One of our favorite varieties here at Michler's is the Bread Seed Poppy, because it has a beautiful purple flower and produced pods full of delicious Poppy seeds. If you ate any of our Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies we sold at the Christmas Market, you ate Poppy seeds from our garden patch photographed above.

Now Hiring - Spring 2017

Are you looking to work, learn and sweat?

Michler’s is hiring. We are gearing up spring and are hiring assistants in the florist, greenhouses, delivery, & garden crew.  As we are a small business, expect more than one role and weekend flexibility is required.  

We have an all-star staff and new positions are (at least initially) assistant positions with a starting wage of $10 an hour.  Thus, prior horticulture experience is not a requirement.  Work at Michler’s requires prolonged standing, walking, lifting, squatting, and bending, sometimes in extreme heat or cold.  The applicant must have the stamina and schedule to work until the job is done.  Absolutely no smoking during the workday. 

If you are interested in applying for a position, please fill out this application and bring it by the shop.
