Launching its 62nd year in business, Stratton Greenhouses, 9915 E. Lincoln Highway, Bluffton, is now open for its extended spring hours, according to Steve Stratton.

The greenhouse, the largest inside garden center in northwestern Ohio, offers a full selection for plants and gardening supplies. The greenhouse offers vegetables, flowers and landscaping. Stratton Greenhouses is an Icon advertiser.

"This season we have several new varieties of plants," said Stratton. "We also carry individual plants, containers and heirloom vegetables. We carry the full line of gardening plants and supplies as last year."

Greenhouse hours are Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. During May the greenhouse will be open Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.

Stratton's will host an open house with a variety of special offers during the weekend of Friday through Sunday, April 29 to May 1, just in time for Mother's Day.

In addition to its Lincoln Highway location, Stratton's has a Findlay outlet. It is located at the intersection of Interstate 75 and State Route 12, in the Sandman property. Stratton's opened its Findlay location last fall.

Stratton said that this year the greenhouse will not have a downtown Bluffton location. Last year it had an outlet at the former Morey's coffee shop on East College. That building, which is not owned by the greenhouse, was not available this spring because the building is for sale.
