Why We Love Losing Money

How does a company start from nothing, grow and thrive for 45 years, and sell items for less than they cost?

Only by building long term relationships. That means innovating, executing, and taking care of every customer like they are the most important person in the world.

But even more than that, it means caring. Caring about customers, caring about employees, caring about quality, and caring about doing the right thing.

Let Queensboro show you the secret of their 45-year success. Let them do what they love and put your logo on a custom-embroidered polo or hat for just $4.95, including logo setup and embroidery.

Welcome to your new partner for custom logo apparel & promotional products. Trust the Queen for just $4.95.

Before Restoration

After restoration

💐 Last weekend, I walked through the beautiful gardens at the Vanderbilt Mansion Historic Site. I had the pleasure of meeting a dedicated volunteer who shared the fascinating history of the garden restoration efforts.

In 1984, three local gardeners—Martha Stuart, Louise Martin, and Marion Asher—partnered with the National Park Service (NPS) to restore the historic gardens. By then, many of the original plants were gone. The first major restoration was the planting of annual beds in 1985, followed by the perennial garden and Cherry Tree Walk in 1986, and the rose bushes in 1987. Over 6,000 plants are now maintained annually across the terraces.

The Friends of the Vanderbilt Gardens Association (FWVGA) continues to preserve and maintain the gardens through fundraising efforts and generous donations, ensuring these beautiful spaces remain vibrant for all to enjoy. To volunteer or donate click here.
