No time seems more appropriate than the middle of winter and the beginning of a new year to start thinking about growing green things in your garden (and other beautiful colors, too!). We at Baver Herbs are already envisioning sunny days and sinking our hands into rich soil.

To help us prepare for the upcoming season, we invite you to take part in our Season Starter program, which helps us buy the seeds /seedlings we need now, and helps you when the season arrives. Here's how it works:

• Buy a $25 Season Starter Certificate from us now (or anytime before March 31, 2005), and receive a $30 coupon good for anything we sell.

• Buy a $50 Season Starter Certificate from us now (or anytime before March 31, 2005), and receive a $60 coupon good for anything we sell.

• Buy a $100 Season Starter Certificate from us now (or anytime before March 31, 2005), and receive a $120 coupon good for anything we sell.

You'll receive a coupon from us with your name and redeemable amount. Simply present the coupon at time of purchase.

Use these Certificates for yourself, your favorite gardener, or anyone you like!

If interested, we'd like to hear from you as soon as is convenient for you. Please send your name, address, and phone number, along with a check made payable to Baver Herbs, to:

Betsy Richley
3135 Herron Road
Frankfort, MI 49635

If you have any questions, please call Betsy at 231-352-7391. This offer expires March 31, 2005.

Please pass this idea along to anyone you think might be interested.

And don't forget to let us know, now, about any special herbs you'd like to have available this year. (Call Betsy at 231-352-7391). Keep an eye on this Web site for events and information.

We look forward to seeing you again this year.

Sincerely,
Betsy Richley and Paula Smeltzer

P.S. We also have Gift Certificates available, either for yourself or anyone you know! These are available in any denomination and available anytime throughout the year.
