<br />FLOWERS BY JACKIE
<br />14017 St. Francis Blvd. N.W.
<br />
<br />After many years in the floral industry in Minnesota
<br />and Wisconsin as a designer and manager, Jackie
<br />Nazzal and her husband, Mike, opened a floral shop
<br />at 14017 S1. Francis Blvd. Jackie had previously
<br />worked in Ramsey and her first hand knowledge of
<br />the friendly, growing community convinced her to
<br />locate her shop in Ramsey. Jackie says that she was
<br />most impressed with the support she got from other
<br />businesses, in addition to the cooperation and
<br />assistance she received from the Staff at Ramsey
<br />Municipal Center. Jackie recalled the Business Ex-
<br />po at Ramsey Elementary School last year and said
<br />"It was super; I never realized how many businesses
<br />are in Ramsey and it was nice to meet our
<br />neighbors.' ,
<br />Flowers by Jackie offers fresh and silk flowers,
<br />balloons, plush toys and specializes in weddings and
<br />custom orders with an accent on service. Jackie's
<br />hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00
<br />p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The

<br />MORTON'S NURSERY AND GARDEN
<br />CENTER
<br />
<br />After 32 years with the Ford Motor Company, Stan
<br />Morton retired and opened the nursery and garden
<br />center located at 16355 Hwy. #47 (S1. Francis Blvd.)
<br />in April of 1979.
<br />Stan and Shelley have 11 children and he says
<br />that their help in the business, along with that of their
<br />spouses, has really been appreciated. In the spring
<br />when it is time to pot the plants and shrubs, Stan
<br />says it takes 20 people working two to three days
<br />to get the job done.
<br />The Nursery offers a full line of nursery stock,
<br />perennials, bedding plants, ground covers, bulk
<br />garden and grass seed, fertilizers, potting soil and
<br />peat moss. In the spring, bare root nursery stock is
<br />available (shade trees, hedges, etc.); and in the fall,
<br />Morton sells home grown produce. Additional ser-
<br />vices offered at Morton's Nursery include landscape
<br />design, installation and maintenance.
<br />The Nursery is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 days a
<br />week from April 1 st to November 1 s1.
<br />If you have any questions on landscaping or
<br />gardening, stop in and talk to Stan.

<br />BACKYARD
<br />COMPOSTING SEMINAR
<br />
<br />Yard waste will not be accepted at the landfills in
<br />the metropolitan area after January 1, 1990. Have
<br />you thought about how you plan to dispose of your
<br />yard waste?
<br />Composting in your own backyard is a convenient
<br />alternative in disposing of organic yard and garden
<br />waste. It can also create a feeling of personal and
<br />community pride knowing that at least in a small way
<br />you have contributed to a better environment.
<br />Harvey Buchite, Anoka County's Agricultural/Hor-
<br />ticultural Agent will show us how to recycle our
<br />organic waste into a valuable soil improvement
<br />product.

<br />FREE HOME STUDY COURSE
<br />OUR FRAGILE RESOURCES
<br />SOIL AND WATER
<br />
<br />We Minnesotans have taken a lot of pride in our
<br />natural resources, but we may also have taken our
<br />soil and the quality of our water for granted. Like our
<br />"10,000" lakes, our ground water and our soil have
<br />been recognized as priceless resources.
<br />Our ground water can be contaminated from many
<br />sources, especially on the fragile Anoka Sand Plain
<br />Soils. Soil conservation and water problems can't
<br />be solved by just one group alone. Homeowners can
<br />help, too. The material in this home study course will
<br />show you how.
<br />The Anoka County Extension Service is able to
<br />send the Home Study Course free of charge. Topics
<br />include: Where groundwater comes from, unique
<br />characteristics of the fragile Anoka Sand Plain, water
<br />contaminants, treatment systems, testing the water
<br />supply, household hazardous wastes, septic system
<br />care, locating septic systems, percolation tests,
<br />water and soil conservation through lawn care, com-
<br />posts, and tree selection.
<br />Call the Anoka County Extension Service,
<br />755-1280, for a registration form for this free home
<br />study course.
<br />
<br />MEDIATION SERVICES
<br />
<br />Free help is available to help solve troubling con-
<br />flicts before they lead to costly court proceedings.
<br />Mediation Services for Anoka County provides a
<br />way to deal with problems that is simple, quick and
<br />available to anyone living or working in Anoka
<br />County.
<br />Trained volunteer mediators help parties decide
<br />on a course of action. Typical issues settled by
<br />mediation have been: neighborhood disputes in-
<br />cluding noise, parking and pet issues; landlord/te-
<br />nant conflicts including return of damage deposits,
<br />repair and maintenance problems and eviction
<br />issues; business/consumer conflicts regarding
<br />goods and services.
<br />For more information or to talk to someone about
<br />a particular issue, contact Ann Wallerstedt, Ex-
<br />ecutive Director at 755-5300.
