Stutzmans Garden Center will set up its pop-up garden shop for one more year at the corner of W. Cloud and Ninth Street in Salina.
Jacki Harper, office manager for Stutzmans said they have the lease for one more year. Kansas Wesleyan University, which owns the lot, plans to use the lot for parking, according to Harper.
"Salina is one of if not our largest satellite location," Harper said. "We will definitely still be in Salina."
Harper said Stutzmans is considering several locations in central Salina for its future home.
“The university has some long-term discussions going on regarding the space,” said Brad Salois, director of marketing and communications at Kansas Wesleyan University. “But nothing will be taking place immediately.”
According to its website, Stutzmans opens just after the last frost of spring, which typically occurs at the end of April or the beginning of May. The garden center stays open until just before the first frost of fall.
Stutzmans carries flowers and vegetables in the spring, heat-loving plants in the summer, and mums and more for fall. All plants are grown locally in the unpredictable Kansas weather.
