"When Brick Wheels made the decision to move into the Cole Brothers building on 8th Street, we not only took over a dilapidated and run down facility, but the former farm implement dealership was a rather plain big box-looking store.  After re-roofing, paving, painting and remodeling we now had a fresh new bicycle specialty store, however it was still a rather plain big box-looking store.  We had planned landscaping in our original designs, but really didn't have any solid concepts or ideas.  We were probably going to throw in some grass seed and a shrub or two and call it good.  Then in walks the "The Garden Goddess" Sherry Cobbley of Forget-Me-Not Gardening.  Sherry presented several computer generated drawings reflecting how our building would look during the change of seasons and how the mix of flowers would provide nearly eight months of change.  After all we'd spent on carpeting and drywall we weren't exactly rolling in cash but we also wanted our customers to want to come in and see our new digs.  We worked with Sherry and implemented a three year plan.  By the end of the first phase we knew we had made the correct decision.  Our building took on a whole new appearance.  Even the former owner stopped in to comment on the friendly appearance and the ever changing flowers.  It may look like we spend hours tending to our gardens but not really.  We spend more time picking up paper than we do picking weeds.  It's exciting to pull into work some mornings and be greeted by a colorful display of fresh new flowers. Not a week goes by during the summer that someone doesn't comment.  Keep your eyes peeled when you go by our store 'cause it's never the same....oh yea...we're going forward with phase four this Spring."
