| Dear Viewer,
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read about what is new at Ground Effects. This morning as I arrived at work 2 trucks were sitting in our driveway ready to be unloaded with evergreens, trees, perennials, and shrubs. And there are going to be 3 more trucks coming today or tomorrow. Spring is officially here and hopefully (cross your fingers) we don't have any more snow. I looked at the forecast and it doesn't look like it will freeze in the next 15 days. I figured I better get this newsletter written early this morning or it won't get done today. Make sure to stop in, there are many changes and I am so excited to share them with you.
| | | Mother's Day is Fast Approaching
 With Mother's Day just around the corner we are all racking our brains to find that perfect thoughtful gift for our Mother. We can make it easy for you . STOP AT GROUND EFFECTS. This year on May 7th we are having a day where kids can come in with a parent and create a container like the one shown above for Mom. We will then take a picture of them either creating it or with the finished product. Then will put it in a nice mother's day card for your child to give to their Mother. Now didn't we make that easy for you.
Don't forget our flowershop will have, as always, all kinds of unique arrangements to get mom also. The Greenhouse is overflowing with wonderful annuals: from hanging baskets, to containers, to the individual potted plants. So stop by and let Ground Effects help make you your mom's favorite. www.scgroundeffects.com.
| | April 30: New and Exciting Annuals Seminar.

Destination Sioux Center is back by popular demand from Valentines Day with the New Mother's Day Edition.

| | | Home Show Booth
 Thanks to all of you who stopped by at our homeshow booth. We had a lot of fun showing some of the products we can create. The awesome tropical flower arrangements that Bert did were stunning. The outdoor grill area and fountain Jon and Brent created was one of a kind. All involved put a lot of thought and effort into the show and did a great job. The grill at the homeshow was a new grill we are selling called the Firestone Grill which is pretty neat and makes grilling a cinch. Also make sure you check out if you were drawn for one of the ten $10 dollar certifcates. Check it out on the Ground Effects website www.scgroundeffects.com.
| | April 12 and April 19 Container Workshop
 You don't even need to call to reserve a spot. Stop in on either April 12 or April 19 from 10-1 and let Katie help you create a container masterpiece. You will have first choice of all the exciting new plants and expert help with making your spring containers. Once they are planted we will take care of them in our cozy greenhouse until the week before Mother's Day. Don't miss this opportunity to have the most beautiful full grown containers in your neighborhood to start May. Katie can show you what the top ten annuals are and also show you the other new and interesting varieties we have. We also have an annuals seminar planned for Wednesday, April 30 at 6:00 pm.
