May's Greenhouse on Bloomington's south side reopened Wednesday after last week's flash flooding caused extensive damage to the business.
The heavy rain hurt a wide array of plants and machinery. Co-owner Jason Michell Fulton says members of the community rallied around the more than 50-year-old business.
There will be a volunteer day at May's Greenhouse on Tuesday, where people can come and help with tasks like potting, straightening and cleaning retail items, and leveling out gravel.
"We've had a lot of response on Facebook and from people wanting to help out and, you know, that's one way they can if they come in and help us get caught up," Fulton says. "That would be great."
The business also made a GoFundMe page and is accepting in-store donations. It's raised more than $2,000 in just three days.
Fulton says the damage accounts to several thousand dollars. But it shouldn't be long before the greenhouse is fully functioning again.
"We might be able to get closer to normal by the end of next week if we get caught up," Fulton says.
The spring planting season typically starts around mid-April. They're hoping to be back to normal before the spring rush.
