UPDATE 7/8/2010: Despite receiving 2 inches of rain yesterday, river levels in the area have dropped below their flood stages and Rock Creek is back in its banks. Even with rain forcasted for tonight, flooding is forcasted to be minimal. We feel the threat of flooding in the store has diminished and that we can safely return to business. We have been working hard this afternoon moving products and equipment back into the store. We plan to reopen for business tomorrow (Friday) morning for normal operating hours (9:00 - 5:00).

We all know that shopping local keeps our money in this area and helps stimulate the local economy. Independence Nursery has been able to serve southeast Kansas for 28 years thanks to our local customers who believe in shopping local. Today we are excited to announce the latest addition to our line of services with the launching of our online store. It's all the convenience of shopping online, but with a local touch. Now you can shop local day or night, no matter where you are.

We will be closed on Monday July 5th to celebrate Independence Day with our friends and families. We hope everyone has a happy 4th of July!

We've been getting a lot of calls about big bees lately. These are carpenter bees. They winter over as adults and cannot sting. They tunnel into wood, producing round holes about a half inch wide, and lay their eggs. The eggs develop through the summer and the young adults spend the winter in the tunnels. The following spring the cycle begins again.
