Greenhouse and Nursery.
hen the holiday season is in full swing it can be
hard to take a moment and enjoy it. Here, four
independent garden centers share their tips and
advice for avoiding holiday burnout themselves and for their staff.
Mixing Things up
Gail Vanik and her husband Vic have owned Four Seasons
Greenhouse and Nursery Inc. in Dolores, Colorado, since 1998 -
that's a lot of holiday seasons! Gail says she adores the holiday
season. " I mean, I'm the gal that starts shopping for Christmas in
January, so burnout for me has really never happened.
" That being said, with the advent of COVID, our classes
exploded in 2020, and since we were trying to have less people in
any one class to allow for sociaI distancing, we ended up running
classes at 10 a.m., 12 noon, and 2 p.m. every weekend day, so
there was no time for a break. Since I teach all of our workshops
myself, that did get a little tiresome. "
She says that, prior to COVID, they had traditionally taken
their staff out for a Christmas breakfast. But when all of the
restaurants were closed, they still wanted to have some kind of
company holiday party and switched to a potluck breakfast.
