We are thankful!

Thanksgiving –
Thanksgiving finds the staff at Sunnyside in a reflective mood – looking back on a fast and fun year and anticipating a restful two month winter break come Christmas. While Sunnyside will shut down for Thanksgiving Day and each staff will enjoy turkey time with their families, we got together to compile a brief list of things we are thankful for that we would like to share:
- A beautiful year – from a near perfect gardening May, to a not unbearably hot July and August to a mercifully mild November.
- Great Neighbors and Good News – We’ve enjoyed a great partnership with France 44 this year and are thankful for their help in orchestrating some of our fun events here. We are also thrilled to learn we will have a new neighbor next year – Linden Hills Co-op will be moving into the old Almsted building, bringing great food and hip neighbors.
- Our Jobs – Congruent with popular belief, working at Sunnyside is the best job in the world –outside in the sun with a small and intimate crew of wonderful people and working with…
- Our Unbelievably Awesome Customers – The one thread that ran through each staff members thanks was our customers. Plants may be mood-improving and peaceful to work with but let’s face it – they get quite boring and are incapable having a conversation (although this fact doesn’t stop Todd for trying from time to time). We are truly blessed to be situated in this small corner of paradise in Southwest Minneapolis and are heartily thankful that your wonderful patronage has helped make our humble garden center a hip, cool and vibrant small business for almost eighty years now.
We thank you for a wonderful year and look forward to making next year another great one, and continuing to build relationships with our great patrons.
