Hi Everyone! Hard to believe with the weather we’ve been having that it’s time to think about HANGING BASKETS. We are beginning to prep the greenhouses so we can start planting mid February. So moss the time to be thinking about getting your planters to us. Please see instructions below: CAMPBELL RIVER LOCATION Please ensure your baskets are empty. Put them in a large garbage bag with a note inside stating your name, phone number, preferred location to pick up and tag eac...h basket with sun or shade. If you have color preferences, please state them and we will do our best to accommodate. Take containers to 4068 South Island Highway and drop them over the gate. All orders must be picked up prior to the Mother’s Day Weekend COURTENAY LOCATION Drop off your containers beginning Feb 15th. Please note, the gates will be closed but we will be busy working in the greenhouse. Slide the gates open, drive in, and close the gates behind you.

Seeing BC’s numbers, talking with people, and hearing what a lot of the discussions are, I felt compelled to write, or say something. Why? It seems almost every...one now has a totally informed opinion on how the government should be handling this (I wasn’t aware how many experts and epidemiologists were in our midst!) or people think what’s happening right now is an overreaction. Some thoughts from me as a paramedic on the front lines... Pause for a moment and hear me out. Our numbers are not good. In BC, across Canada, and North America, we need to do better. We have so many more months to go in this pandemic before a vaccine is widespread, and we are also at the beginning of cold and flu season. To be blunt, your first responders and healthcare workers are tired, and getting burnt out. COVID has been a reality for us, everyday, for 8 months. You may be thinking I’m tired of this as well! It’s been a reality for me too! I wear a mask in stores! I was really good about the lockdown this spring! I even cheered for you at 7:00pm! And we know so much more now about it, and a vaccine is so close. But I’m talking about seeing it firsthand, and all the ways this virus is wreaking havoc on our healthcare jobs. The mental load of constantly changing protocols as the newest research comes out, trying to keep your practice up to date and adapt to the new information, sometimes multiple times in a week. Dealing with patients who are sicker than they have ever been in their life, and you know they are sick before you even speak to them because you see the fear in their eyes. Knowing that nothing at the hospital and nothing you carry in your kit will treat or cure this disease. Wearing PPE through summer heat and physically exerting calls - imagine wearing a plastic garbage bag over your clothing and a respirator strapped to your face and a plastic shield over that, that’s fogging up your vision while fighting to save someone’s life. Trying to be comforting when a patient asks you it’s not COVID, right?, but you both know it likely is. Manically wiping everything down after contact with a COVID suspect patient, hoping you remember every spot they touched. and then anxiously replaying it all in your head for weeks after, monitoring your body for any sign of sickness. You think you’re tired of this? Put yourself in our shoes. Please, don’t say to me, but the economy matters, we can’t just lockdown again. If the economy was the most important thing to me, I wouldn’t be working in a job that is about patient care and public health. And if the economy really does matter to you, remember what it was like this spring, or things WILL get worse. It’s time to go back to FaceTime hangouts, cooking meals at home or getting take out/delivery (support small business!), and sticking to only your household group. Put on a mask if you have to go out. Stay home as much as you can/if you can, and wash your hands. I’ll be honest, I also haven’t been the best! I’ve enjoyed my summer and fall; seeing some friends again, going out shopping, enjoying a meal out, and yes, letting my guard down for that hug from that person I’ve really missed. But it’s time once again to reign it in. Finallyplease please please, check in on your friends and family, and especially those that are working the front lines. These are tough times. Listen to them. Be understanding and not questioning, and let’s try not to enter into debate with each other right now. I’m not looking for praise here. It’s not like every patient I care for is COVID positive or suspect. I’m thinking of the nurses and doctors and all the other staff who are working 24/7 in the ICUs and COVID wards right now. The respiratory therapists. The cleaners. Every person who is putting themselves even more at risk than I am to serve others. Let’s think of those people and support them by doing our part. Feel free to share this post. UPDATE - 11/22/2020 - WOW everyone I did not expect this to blow up. Thank you for all the support. If you come onto my post and start arguments, ask me to show you proof, or say it's a hoax etc, please take your opinions elsewhere or I'm going to delete you!
