Currently Forever Green is open for customers following these COVID-19 safety practices.

For the health and safety of our staff and customers everyone must wear a mask and use hand sanitizer when entering the garden center.  We’re limiting the number of people in the store at a time and prefer no children.  If you are outdoors and able to maintain 6′ social distancing masks are optional.  If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 have tested positive or have been exposed to COVID we ask you to stay home.  We offer curbside pickup for those who prefer no contact shopping.   We are adding an outdoor checkout for your safety and convenience.

Our landscape offices are open by appointment, masks and hand sanitizer use are required.  Design staff and crews are following COVID safe guidelines and will wear masks when they are indoors or unable to social distance.

With the COVID -19 virus confirmed in Johnson County we have made the decision to postpone the March 28th Bonsai event.

We’re disappointed but believe for the health and safety of our staff, members of Eastern Iowa Bonsai Assn and our customers this decision is the right one. Watch for a new date, hopefully we’ll be able to have it this fall.
