March at the garden center

Starting out any year is exciting around this little corner of Linden Hills and Morningside.  Sunny days heat up the greenhouses to tropical temps, box after box of new merchandise is unloaded daily, and lively plants are popping in to fill up the benches. African v iolets are in the mix of plants now in our care, they are an "old time," easy to care for classic bloomer. Living plants are longer lasting than a cut bouquet (and often less expensive), I can always justify having a little 4" ceramic poaround the house to drop a fresh blooming plant into. Around here, flowers = smiles!
