It's About Thyme to Close its Doors after 39 Years

All Things Must Pass

It is with heavy hearts that we announce today that It's About

Thyme Garden Center will close its doors mid-summer. As many

of you know, we have been struggling for the past few years to

find a new location and new owners for our business... but have

been unsuccessful on both fronts. Up until last weekend we
thought we had a chance of holding our lease for another year -

but it was not to be, and we need to vacate our premises by the
middle of the summer.

So we have both made the difficult decision to close our business

after 39 years and retire. In this we are joining a list of many iconic

Austin businesses that are struggling to survive within the econo-

mics of the 'new Austin.'

We thank all of you for your friendship and support through all

these years, and honestly, the hardest part of closing will be saying

goodbye to all of you, our customers, who have been dropping in

on a regular basis for veggies and roses and trees and perennials

every spring and fall for so many years. Thank you for everything.

However, rather than doom and gloom we want to make these final

months as joyful as possible, and make them a time for reflection

on all of the good times we have had at the nursery through the many,

many years that we have been in business. Please continue to visit

us! (We will remain fully stocked through the end of May.) If you

have gift cards, be sure to come by and spend them soon.

in gratitude,

Diane and Chris
