Rich Gillespie, “Flowers, flowers everywhere,” Beaver Island Forum, May 16–21, 2006.
A community recommendation described Heidi Connors’s fledgling greenhouse as offering annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, and other plants behind Inland Auto on Paud Een Ogs Road, with a later notice of Denise McDonough’s plant display at Dalwhinnie. This adds contemporary local context and a broad locator for the greenhouse, but it is promotional community testimony and does not establish a parcel, business filing, inventory, or sales.
