Ben’s Creek Nursery will be closed tomorrow in recognition of the imminent arrival of Hurricane Florence. The safety of our employees and their families must be our first priority, and this will allow them to be with their families during this singular weather event. But our thoughts and prayers are with all of our customers and friends, especially those to our south in Raleigh and beyond where (for now) the storm path seems to be heading. Be safe, everyone!
As a reminder of what these things can do (as if any were needed), here is a mash-up of past hurricanes that have assaulted our Carolinas coast. Click on any photo to get a closer look.
