More than 60-year-old Iowa garden center to close

From Little Village magazine:

After six decades in the community, the Pleasant Valley Garden Center and Flower Shoppe in Iowa City, Iowa, will be closing its doors in January 2017.

“This has been our, I guess you could say it has been our life,” said Aleda Feuerbach, who owns the store along with her husband, Kerry. “We’ve been eating, sleeping and breathing it for a lot of years.”

The store will remain fully open and functioning through the end of the holidays and then transition into clearance-mode in January to sell off as much as possible.

“It’s going to be hard,” she said.
