A buzz of activity surrounds the lead-up to Memorial Day for nurseries and greenhouses, like bees hovering around the bright blooms that are sold all across the county that weekend.
Wolf’s Blooms and Berries in northwest Ohio is no exception, as staff runs from one retail display to another, watering plants and snapping off wilted leaves.
Wood County Farm Bureau members James and Sue Wolf have operated the greenhouse in Bowling Green for more than 20 years. After two decades, they have a good sense of what their customers want. On Memorial Day the graves of loved ones who have passed are adorned in remembrance, especially those of service men and women to commemorate their service and sacrifice.
“We have many customers with a priority to make sure their loved ones’ graves are tended to and decorated for Memorial Day events, “ Sue said. “Customers are also eager to start their outside summer entertainment on Memorial Day and their yards and patios are a priority to plant and decorate.”
It’s good to keep in mind that Memorial Day weekend is in some ways a grand finale of the flower season. In another month the Wolf’s greenhouse turns from blooms to berries.
“We start harvesting strawberries around the first week in June,” Sue said. “Our goal is to have our greenhouse emptied out by the time berries are done, which is (usually) around the end of June.”

My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
