It’s not the easiest thing in the world to get into their small parking lot. Fortunately, some highway traffic stopped, going the other direction, to wave me on. They were stopped at a light, anyway, but this never would have happened in NJ. I gave them “thank you” waves (as I sneaked across the two oncoming lanes), which they returned.
This is my type of garden center. It’s smaller than my old favorite one in NJ, but its prices are similar (a little higher than average, but not exceedingly so).
I snagged a flat of dark snapdragons with a few other light pink ones to make up for those that had already been sold. S saw those and practically screamed “SNAPPIES!” At least he didn’t chide me for the other stuff I bought: a heather, a dark red mandevilla vine (not hardy in this zone), and a few other perennials that like partial shade. We both love snappies, so it was a good choice.
What’s one more plant to bring inside with my orchids, when it gets cold enough in Fall? Mandevillas are cool. The rest of what I bought will get planted tomorrow, and can live or not, on their own, over the next few years.
