OFF TO WORK ... WITH GREENHOUSE OWNERS
Garretts bring out life in their greenhouses BY BILL EDWARDS bedwards@annistonstar.com
The “dead of winter” is a phrase that means little to Larry and Kim Garrett, because when they go off to work, they see life all around them in their greenhouses. The business that bears the name of the married couple, Garrett Greenhouses, caters to the wholesale and retail houseplant trade from all around the region. They raise everything except shrubbery. More than 40 varieties of hanging baskets are sold, as are flats of bedding plants, pansies and vegetables. On Alabama 21 six miles north of Jacksonville, the greenhouses fill about five acres of land out of 100 that have been in the Garrett family ever since the mid-19th century. It’s land where Larry Garrett’s grandparents were truck farmers and his late father owned Joe H. Garrett egg farm, the largest source of brown eggs in the area. It was Larry’s grandmother, though, who inspired him to enter the business some three decades ago. She had “plants everywhere” and “people came from all over to buy plants from her,” Larry said. After illness slowed her down, he took over the operation. “I started the greenhouse 32 years ago in one little house and didn’t know when to Please see WORK ❙ Page 3

Bankruptcies
Continued from Page 1
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remaining property is gathered and sold by a trustee from which creditors will receive payment. It may also be used by businesses which wish to terminate their business. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables debtors, through court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid, in full or in part, in installments over a three-year period. During that time, debtors are prohibited from starting or continuing collection efforts. The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Alabama last week:

quit,” said Larry, 50. “I’ve always felt like I had a calling. ... I just want to provide (plants) so elderly women could afford them.” That particular customer base, added Kim, “will do without something to have a little ol’ flower on their front porch.” Now the Garretts have 47 greenhouses of varying size, up to 17 by 100 feet, all covered in plastic sheeting. And therein lies at least two risks of the business: inclement weather and dependence on petroleum-based materials, whether it’s plastic pots to hold the plants or the fertilizer used to keep them healthy. Fertilizer had more than doubled in price the past couple of years, Larry said, adding, “anything plastic has gone up and not come down.” Winter weather can be disastrous, because although propane heaters keep the plants warmed, heavy ice or snow can take down the plastic covering and everything else — all 19 greenhouses the Garretts had in 1993 were destroyed in the March blizzard of that year. That event also relegated to the back burner Kim’s career as a hairdresser, the skill for which she was trained. She cast her lot with the plants. “It was either do or die back then. At that time greenhouses were more of a lifeline than the beauty salon,” she said. Hail, fire, windstorms, floods and bugs are also part of the risk. “Anything that’s in the Old Testament, we’ve had it,” Larry remarked ruefully. “There is a very huge risk with greenhouses.” There’s also not much time off available, even in the years when their two hard-working children were available to help. “You’re tied down here seven days a week. You can’t leave,” said Kim.

Garrett Greenhouses includes 47 greenhouses of various sizes. But when weather and all other elements are cooperative, the Garretts’ spread of vegetation is a sight to behold. Even cyclists on the Ladiga Trail across the highway will notice and stop in. Potential customers, said Kim, will “ride their bicycles and come back with their pickups. It flips ’em out when they see 10,000 ferns at one time” in 15 greenhouses. Also gratifying to the Garretts is the number of children attracted to the greenhouses. Granted, a petting zoo populated with goats, sheep, rabbits and the like deserves some of the credit — kindergarteners love it, said Larry — but some schoolkids know of the place because they want to raise money for programs not otherwise funded in their

school’s budget. “Just about all our mums went out to fundraisers and to wholesale customers,” said Larry. Added Kim, “I’ve got a few left. We had 20,000 in the field. This year I apologized to a whole lot of people” for running out. Next season, she said, they’ll need to plant 25,000 to 30,000. But the extra effort will be worth it, both outside the greenhouses and inside. “It’s kind of nice in the wintertime,” said Kim, “when everything is dead and gone. You walk into a greenhouse and see life.” Readers who know of interesting jobs — or perhaps common jobs that involve more than meets the eye — are invited to email bedwards@annistonstar.com for a possible write-up for “Off to Work.”

Restaurant inspections Here are food service establishments recently inspected by the Calhoun County Health Department, along with scores. A score of 100 indicates the inspector found no deficiencies. Potentially hazardous deficiencies (fouror five-point demerit items) are noted. These must be corrected immediately and inspectors say they are often corrected while the inspection is underway. Restaurants earning below 70 must raise their scores within seven days or face closure.
