Here's a throwback to December 1985! Does anyone remember receiving our newsletter in the mail at that time?
This era of our newsletter was created by Tom Giantvalley. Up in his office, on the second floor of the Lazy K, he meticulously hand wrote each version of the newsletter on a stencil. He then used a mimeograph to create copies, hand-cranking each individual copy through the machine. (These are the days long before digital copiers!)
Fun fact: Next time you're in the nursery, take a moment to identify the giant redwood behind the Lazy K, it was planted by Tom years ago.
We at the nursery love looking through these old editions, a true nod to our past and rich with plant knowledge, character and wit! Enjoy!
