Today is a good day to publicly restate our stance on being a refuge from non-plant politics. Don, the owner, has no shortage of opinions and data and will air them to whoever is curious, but the business proper does not celebrate or advance any politician, political party, holiday, or remembrance.
We don’t do this out of a belief that politics are capable of being avoided. There’s a reason we repurpose old pots, don’t use vermiculite or perlite, explicitly select UPS and USPS as carriers whenever possible, buy vehicles from domestically headquartered auto companies, bought an EV, and donate to a variety of nonprofits.
Ironically, or paradoxically, our position of silence is a social commentary. Not every service member wants a reminder or a thank you. Don lost his mother to breast cancer when he was 26 and hates the bumper stickers and marketing around breast cancer. Frankly, sometimes people just want to forget and tend to a plant.
So, as a reminder for our sales: we request that you refrain from non-plant political dialogue at our sales and leave your candidate/party t-shirts at home. Don will embarrass you if you can’t abide.
Happy Planting!
