Dear Friends and Neighbors,

After a full two weeks of being closed, we, at Bayview Farm & Garden, are ready to open up again in service to our community. We have been very focused and busy reorganizing our systems with the goal of ensuring the complete safety of our staff and customers. We will be open from 9am-4pm daily starting Monday, April 6th. Flower House Cafe remains closed at this time, but we hope to be up and running again soon.

Operational Changes & Safety Measures:

• Employees will wear a mask and gloves at all times and maintain proper 6' distance
• Sanitizing checkout stations after each customer
• Closing at 4pm daily
• Managing the flow of traffic into the store and limiting the number of customers shopping
• Promoting safe social distancing in the store, nursery and greenhouse by marking the floor and adding signage
• Added outdoor checkout station and plexi glass barriers to checkout stations

We are heartened knowing that what we do is recognized by the state of Washington to be essential to the health and resiliency of our community and we are taking this responsibility very seriously. As a member of the food supply chain, we are committed to being safe and providing the tools, plants and soil to anyone that wants to grow their own food. The safety of our customers and our staff employees is of utmost importance.

There has never been a better time to plant a garden. Planting for food is emotionally nurturing, mentally relaxing and physically healthy during uncertain and challenging times. Plus it is a terrific activity to share with children! Small, home Victory gardens historically have provided an abundance of food security for families and communities. We are here to help! The greenhouse is full of veggie starts and we are well stocked with soils and amendments and everything you need to get your garden growing!

All of us here at Bayview Farm & Garden and the Flower House Cafe want to thank you, our incredible customers, for all of your gestures of support and kindness during this unprecedented time in our lives. 

See you Monday!
