Mayflower Garden Center Oneida Wisconsin 7-24-09

We drove by the airport on our way to Oneida Nation Museum and saw the most spectacular array of flowers in old wagons in front of a garden center. We turned around to check it out and I am sure glad we did.

It was the most delightful place owned by a passionate, creative horticulturist - Jan Wos. He came from Poland and brought his talents for design and creative genius with him. Succulents were tucked into picture frames and on the roof of a dog house. Baritones (smaller tubas) stood side by side spilling with cascading flowers. A bouquet of French horns and trombones were the setting for a fountain. Carpenter's benches with well crafted dove tails awaited eager customers selection of pottery. Saxophone fountains delighted the wondering eye. Carefully placed gardens of flowers beside the green house left the tranquil feeling that all is right with the world.
