"We offer a full line of products for the homeowner," says owner Dave Steckle. Offering the largest sel?ctton of perennials in the area from their 40,000 square feet of greenhouse space is easy for the establish- ment since everything is grown on the premises. Dave says it's not uncommon to hear customers exclaim, "There are just too many to choose from," as they look over the huge selection of houseplants, bedding plants, patio pots and hanging baskets. Besides handling the usual varieties of perennials, the Steckies also find it important to provide some more unique flora. A dozen types of hostas as well as irises, day lilies and ground cover are all available. Annual flowers, such as impatiens and geraniums as well as many hanging baskets adom the many greenhouses. The family business began as a hobby in 1973 with 2,000 square feet of greenhouse and has simply expanded as a result of growing demand. The Steckies feel this is partially due to 'their impressive customer service. "We try to.give good customer service. Custom- er needs to be number one," comments Dave. Because of the expansion, the operation is now run not only by Dave and his wife Carol but also their son Kevin and his wife Lor- raine. During peak season, they now employ about a dozen people including delivery men. The business really has come a long way. The Steckles also run Huron Ridge Flowers in Zurich which is a full service flower shop and they wholesale some of their plants to grocery stores and gar- den centres. Dave is quick to point out, however, that to take ad- vantage of their vast selection it is advised to visit their acre of shopping area outside Zurich. Besides covering all areas of shrubs, trees and flowers, Huron Ridge Acres has a Targe product line including decorative pots, soils, additives, fertilizers and chemicals. Although most would expect extreme seasonality in the nursery' business, Huron Ridge manages to make their business continue past the regular spring gardening season. Shrubs and trees are planted in their own containers so they can be planted in the sum- mer and poinsettias and Easter lilies are available during the holi- day seasons. The greenhouse's hours of operation until June 13 are 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. After June 13, the establishment is open 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Mon -1 day to Saturday. Huron Ridge Acres of Zurich boasts the largest selection of perennial flowers for the home gardener.
