CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — The owners of Boulevard Flower Gardens are asking for help after  two of their cold framed greenhouses collapsed under the weight of the weekend snow.

“This is not only a huge problem that they have fallen, but also that we have lost a small amount of plant material, labor, materials, and most importantly growing room for our Spring crop and Hothouse Tomatoes,” the Landa family posted on GoFundMe. “Of course we will be attempting to file insurance claims, but as they are older property we know we will not receive all that we need.”

The Landa family created the GoFundMe page to ask for donations from the community to help the business.

“[Your donation will] help with the rebuilding of these valuable greenhouses as soon as possinle to get Spring plants planted and ready to go, as it is right around the corner,” the family wrote. “We understand if you are not able to donate, but if you are able to lend a helping hand or know someone that is and would love to volunteer and just donate your time in the near future; to either help with the greenhouse rebuilding, take down, snow removal, etc. PLEASE contact us!”
