Our gardening community experienced a big loss this
week. A very popular local nursery, a destination garden center, sent out the
following email blast Saturday.
“It's with almost unbearable sorrow
that I am sending this message. On Saturday morning we lost our son, John
Rowley. Most of you knew him or had heard us talk about him, and how he grew
the plants and managed Triple Creek Flower Farm. Visitation will be today,
Tuesday, September 25th, from 4:00 pm. until 8:00 p.m. at the Martin-Hightower
Funeral Home on Highway 27 in Carrollton, Georgia. Funeral services will be
onWednesday at 4:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Please visit http://www.martin-hightower.com/ for more information.
Please keep us in your prayers.”
Winkey and Pat Brinson
Located on 13 acres in Douglas
County, GA, Triple Creek Flower Farm is the “go-to” nursery for our
neighborhood.
Triple Creek’s planted gardens
illustrate how plants will grow in the shopper’s garden. The areas of sun and
shade gardens, the quiet walking paths and picnic area provide an enjoyable and
comfortable setting for gardeners to contemplate additions to their own
gardens.
John, along with Winkey, do all of
the plant production, sales, and delivery, sharing their knowledge and love of
gardening to all who enter. John’s mom Pat handles the office duties of
ordering and accounting.
John will be greatly missed; he was
an inspiration and a friend to us gardeners. In many ways the beautiful yards
and Gardens in Fairfield Plantation will always be a memorial to John Rowley.
