D. Milaeger-Founder of Milaeger's, passed away

I got an email from Milaeger's saying Dan Milaeger passed away Sept. 12th. I was really saddened by this. The garden center is my favorite place. I've been going there since 1997. The 1st time I went to Milaeger's, I told my hubby, 'I want my ashes spread here...this is Heaven!'. It's gotten even better over the years. I can see he has passed on his love for gardening to his children.

He will be missed.

Kat,

I received the same e-mail, but we don't get the paper, so I'm glad you provided the link. They sure do have a strongly knit family, which probably is why the business is so successful. I do enjoy wandering through the greenhouses when I have a little extra time on my hands.

When I retire, I'd like to find out if I can work there maybe one or two days a week!
