Page 10 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • September 25, 2013 Rohsler’s Nursery marks Founder’s Day Now commemorating 100 years in busi- ness, Rohsler’s Allendale Nursery and Flo- rist will pull out all the stops on Founder’s Day Weekend: Saturday, Sept. 28 and Sunday, Sept. 29. Activities will be in full swing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This two-day event is just one of the highlights of Rohsler’s year-long schedule, which has included monthly weekend pro- grams; a cancer benefit; seminars on topics such as organic gardening, children’s gar- dening, and pond startups; and special sav- ings on seasonal plants and trees, ceramic pottery, outdoor furniture, and water fea- tures. On Founder’s Day Weekend, Rohsler’s will offer pony rides and old fashioned hay- rides. The community is invited to enjoy free hot dogs and birch beer on tap begin- ning at 11 a.m. As always, the nursery will be decked out in its finest, with pumpkins, mums, scarecrows, and Halloween decorations. There will be fresh pressed cider, candy apples, and more. Rohsler’s Nursery has been family- owned and operated for five generations. It all began in 1913, when an Austrian immigrant named Herman George Rohsler started growing ornamental plants for land- scapes, inaugurating a successful family business that provides nursery, landscape, and floral services. Today, Bruce Rohsler and his siblings, Robyn and Mark, are the fourth generation of Rohslers to manage the 16-acre busi- ness at 100 Franklin Turnpike in Allendale and Saddle River, and a fifth generation is already working within the business. The triumvirate navigates the constant currents of change by looking back as often as they look forward. For more information, call (201) 327- 3156.
