Another East Coast Snowstorm

The nursery is covered (again!) in about a foot of snow. It can create issues for many, but at least it also creates a photo op!   Click here to view all of the photos that were taken today or check out some samples below.

CNN’s Inside Business showcase Cecil County

Cecil County was the star of a segment on CNN's Inside Business which aired late last year. Cecil Scene wrote all about the production, which you can read about below. To watch the Inside Business segment, Click Here.  (Watch closely and you'll see a flyover of MOON Nurseries!)

Sen. Fred Thompson & CNN’s Inside Business showcase Cecil County

Cecil County is a great place to do business, a message and theme that will be spread far and wide as CNN and Inside Business come to Cecil County this summer. “We have been working directly with CNN and their production team to write the script, set site locations and show the best of our County,” said Erika Quesenbery, Marketing Coordinator for CCOED. 

The Inside Business program will feature a five-minute segment on Cecil County as a “rural county going global in a global economy.” Among the featured highlights will be a W.L. Gore & Associates President and CEO Terri Kelly, the Fair Hill Training Center facilities, agricultural industry and various on-site locations, aerial footage and more.

Sen. Fred Thompson, Tenn., will host the program which will be aired on CNN, and also be featured repeatedly over a one month period of time in 15 markets selected by CCOED for repeated airing. After the show, Cecil County will own the rights to the 5-minute program and be able to utilize it as part of the business recruitment package sent out to targeted businesses and shown at various trade shows and events throughout the year.

“We are thrilled that Cecil County was chosen for this program and that the county is being recognized for it’s tremendous potential for businesses looking for an available, qualified workforce, excellent access to transportation and available land and buildings to accommodate their needs,” said Vernon Thompson, CCOED Executive Director. “With BRAC-impacted businesses beginning to look at our area already the timing of such a piece is truly beneficial to our county,” he added.

The 5-minute Cecil County feature will air as part of the 30-minute Inside Business feature and is scheduled to go into post-production in August and air in September or October, with CCOED to be notified of run dates in future.

Snoverkill 2010

Is this the Mid-Atlantic's worst winter ever? Records were broken last week when the East coast was buried after being hit with two blizzards in less than a week. A total of over three feet of snow fell, causing power outages, businesses to close, and many people to be stranded in their homes. In certain areas, even plows were advised to stay off the roads.

There is talk that another (hopefully smaller) storm will rear its ugly head this week.  Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope it's only a dusting, because we're running out of room to put all of this snow!

100 Years Ago in Bucks

The Bucks County Courier Times features a column titled "100 Years Ago in Bucks". This past Sunday, MOON Nurseries (formerly known as the William H. Moon Nursery Co.) was the highlight of the article.

Let It Snow!

The east coast was walloped with record breaking snowfall this past weekend. Here in Chesapeake City, approximately 15” of snow has covered the nursery. What a way to kick off winter! Take a look at some snapshots of our snow-covered nursery.

Advertisement written by William H. Moon

An old advertisement for ornamental and fruiting trees, written by William H. MOON, was recently found and posted online.  This was scanned from an original issue of the New-York Weekly Tribune newspaper dated April 30, 1879 and you can see it online here.

Quality and Reputation

Moon Nurseries has been lining fields for more than 240 years! Can you believe that? It's true. Though we may have hit some rough patches (depression anyone?) through the years, Moon Nurseries is one of the oldest (if not THE oldest) nursery in the country.

Todd Davis from NM Pro recently summarized our history in "Moon Banks on Quality and Reputation" published in 2007 in NM Pro magazine.  Read more now!
