Sign up for Funke's email Liberty for dummies

The Liberty for dummies page is a simple refresher for all of us Americans that have forgotten what "liberty" is really all about.

It's cute, has great music, and even a kid can understand it. Some adults may be another story. :) It's well worth the watch. I hope you find it as refreshing/entertaining/enlightening as I. My highest compliments to the artist that constructed it. Webmaster

The site is evolving. Rather than take it down for "maintainance" the way many do I decided to leave the old links below in place while I get them placed in the new sections of the newly added site links above. Al

 

  • Current specials - Come see why it's worth the trip to Funke's!
  • Building a pond - A pictorial essay of the construction of the water feature in our front display. A good "how to" demonstration for those who'd like to get their feet wet :)
  • Poinsettias - We did at one time grow some of this finest poinsettias in the region. Consumer apathy and reluctance to pay for quality, and rising fuel costs forced us to stop growing them.
  • Virtual visit - This section needs to be moved to the history area of the site. I'll build a virtual vist page for the new Funke's when I get the chance. :) Al

  • Stop supporting greedy billionaire bankers! use cash!

    Want to do something about greedy bankers robbing the public treasury blind through massive corruption at the federal level? STOP USING THE PLASTIC & START USING CASH. Credit cards do nothing but suck BILLIONS of $ away from the working class & small businesses every year. Who pays for the skymiles and rewards? Your merchant, that's who. Those rewards are taken electronically out of the merchant's portion of the sale when the card is scanned.

    God grant us the sereneity to accept the things we cannot change, the COURAGE to change the things we can, and the WISDOM to know the difference.

    Serving the greater Cincinnati Garden Market for four generations since 1896

    We were at one time, perhaps the single most comprehensive selection of perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs and garden accessories in the region including tuned windchimes, garden furniture, tools, fertilzers and water gardening supplies. The unwillingness of garden consumers to buy plants in any significant numbers in anything less than perfect weather, and then only willing to pay what they did ten years ago while costs of operation skyrockted forced us to shift focus towards the self sufficient organic method food production of our past.

    Our primary mission is now to provide the plants, materials, and knowledge necessary for our customers to take control of their own food supply.

    "Teach a person to fish and they're fed for life, teach them to garden and they can feed the whole neighborhood!" Al Funke 2009

    We look forward to a sustainable future of healthy and bountiful harvests.
