Gartzke's opening shop downtown

"We went to the Minneapolis market and bought a lot of new gifts," Diana said.

The new store will have cards, glassware, candles, candies, pictures, stained glass lamps and "beautiful soft throws," she said.

They needed more space to display the new lines, but knew the gift shop on Holland Street wasn't big enough.

Diana remembered Girls Night Out, when Jack Heinitz let them borrow the store space for the evening.

"The town was so excited to have us here; we decided to make it permanent," she said, adding that the new location has five times the space.

"The Garden Center will stay as is," Diana said, "and be open just in the spring."

Spring plants and vegetables will remain at the greenhouse. Denny and employee Frankie Bly will still be in charge of growing the plants.

Some of the greenery and all of the gift items are moving to Main Street.

"All green plants will be grown there and sold here," Diana said.

Denny is building a cooler at the new store to house the plants, including the poinsettias, which are coming along nicely, she added.
