Déjà vu-Gardens Galore Nursery to Open in Previous Mendon’s Location

In an announcement on Facebook, Déjà vu-Gardens Galore Nursery (known locally as ”The Vu”) will be opening at the location formerly home to Mendon’s nursery. The owner gave credit to John Mendon for helping to make the new location of Déjà vu a reality. Déjà vu lost its original location in the Camp Fire. Adding to their team will be two former Mendon employees bringing additional expertise to the operation. The grand opening is expected within the next few months.
