33% off EVERYTHING*, through December 23rd, and 27th & 30th!
The holidays are a time of joy, reflection, and… unusual scheduling challenges. This year, Christmas and New Year’s Day land squarely on a Wednesday—a phenomenon that feels oddly disruptive and seemingly rare. Statistically, holidays on Wednesdays occur 14.285% of the time, which means, nothing: (7x14.285=99.995%). However, everyone’s juggling work, family, and festivities… this midweek placement creates a unique puzzle: do you take the first half of the week off, the second half, or awkwardly split your time?
Customers, staff, and suppliers alike find themselves navigating a staccato rhythm of business demands and holiday cheer. That midweek “pause” feels more like a hard reset; meanwhile we cram more into the days surrounding it.
With this in mind, we’re adjusting our hours, and year-end savings, to help you make the most of your gardening needs while balancing the season’s festivities, for the next two weeks… albeit awkwardly.
• Christmas Week: We’ll be closed on Tuesday, December 24th for Christmas Eve through Thursday December 26. We will be open on Friday December 27. We will be closed Saturday and Sunday December 28/29th.
• New Year’s Week: We’re open Monday December 30th. We’ll be closed on Tuesday, December 31st for New Year’s Eve through January 2 . We will be open Friday, January 3rd 9 AM–4 PM, and Saturday 9 AM–2 PM, and closed Sunday, January 5th. We will re-open with our winter hours beginning Monday January 6, 2025.
Things without change: www.batesnursery.com remains open 24/7 for last minute gift card (or other shopping) and Saturday mornings, live at 8 AM (or time-shifted to better fit your schedule), we discuss, nearly every landscape scenario that requires mindful attentiveness through the holidays, along with other questions on: “Gardening Inside Out”. Listen to our Podcast anytime! Follow and contact us: Facebook. YouTube. Instagram.
A special Christmas Eve edition of the newsletter will be sent next week; regular schedule resumes January 2, 2025.
Happy Holidays from all of us at Bates Nursery!
