Dear our valued readers,
Today, I am excited to announce my successful acquisition of the domain LemonLadies.com in honor of a beloved and respected gardener, Karen Morss. I was delighted to learn about her work a few years ago and am happy to continue her legacy on GreenHouseCenter. Later in this announcement, I will tell you briefly about Karen Morss’ work with LemonLadies, more information about this opportunity, and my intention with this acquisition.
About Karen & LemonLadies
Karen Morss founded Lemon Ladies Orchard in California after a career that also included technology, aviation and writing. She planted 40 dwarf Meyer lemon trees in 2004, and each tree carried the name of a woman who had inspired or supported her. That thoughtful detail gave the orchard its name.
The small backyard orchard became known for carefully grown Meyer lemons. Karen picked, washed and prepared the fruit herself, supplying customers, bakeries and local businesses during the harvest season. Her work showed how much character and care can come from a compact growing space.
Karen closed the orchard in December 2018 after receiving an unexpected medical diagnosis. She died later that month. Friends, customers and fellow growers have continued to remember her energy, generosity and enthusiasm for sharing good fruit.
About This Opportunity
LemonLadies.com represented more than a crop. It told the story of one gardener, 40 named trees and a community that looked forward to Meyer lemon season. Acquiring the domain creates an opportunity to preserve that connection while giving readers a useful path into Green House Center’s gardening and home resources.
Meyer lemons remain an appealing choice for home growers because the trees can be productive in a relatively small space when climate and care are suitable. Their fragrant peel and less sharply acidic flavor also make the fruit useful in drinks, preserves, baking and savory dishes.
My Intention With The Acquisition
I do not intend to present Green House Center as the former orchard or suggest that its products are still available. Instead, I want to acknowledge Karen’s work honestly and keep the spirit of practical, enthusiastic growing at the center of future citrus and gardening coverage.
The best tribute is useful information that encourages readers to grow something of their own, care for it well and share the harvest. LemonLadies.com will point readers here, where that story can remain connected to new guides about plants, gardens and greener homes.
Thank you for reading and for helping keep the Lemon Ladies story alive.
