The Greenhouse Florist & Nursery has been providing green pets to plant lovers for so long that the VandenHaaks' thumb has evolved from green to evergreen.This year, one of the oldest businesses in Oak Harbor is blowing out 70 candles.
In celebration of this milestone, co-owners and sibling duo Audrey Butler and Henry VandenHaak invite community members to an open house event from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 9, or to test their luck by entering a weekly raffle. The luckiest participant, to be announced at the open house, will win a $250 wind chime and a $70 gift card.
