Gowanus Nursery to Close?

Hats off to Brownstoner for breaking the (depressing) news that one of our favorite Gowanus businesses, the Gowanus Nursery may get kicked out of its home because of land sale. Writes Brownstoner, who has adorned his garden with Gowanus Nursery greenery:

The bloom is off the rose at 102 3rd Street. From what we hear, the owner of the lot that has been home to the Gowanus Nursery for the past several years is close to selling the lot, which runs all the way through to 4th Street. Word is that there are two bidders at around $1.3 million. Anyone have any suggestions for finding the nursery a new home?

We were already bummed at the passing of the long weekend and, now, this.

Listen hard and you can hear the winds of change blowing through the hood.
