Great Ideas at the Nursery

For those of you who do not know, I have started working at the Nursery the Hero and I worked at before he died.  It is spring time work, and of course this is my favorite time of the year.  I love plants... well, selective plants; weeds, some, not so much.
Spring Gardens Nursery in The Woodlands, Texas  has grown and branched out since I last worked for them.  The owner has come up with several alternate growing methods.  Those who live here know what I mean when I say to grow organically in the ground in the south is challenging because of fire ants. His use of the strawberry pots and a wire arbor is great for someone wanting a small garden that looks fashionable. It would be awesome in a Townhome's patio.
Tomatoes, Cucumbers
His other idea was to use strawberry pots stacked for a floral display.  This is the beginning, I will share with you as they fill out.
Dianthus, Begonia, Purslane, Mexican Petunia
Yes I am having fun. It was hard the first day coming down, but my old friends were so nice.  it is okay now.

Though it may be hard what better place to be working than at a nursery where things grow and change with the seasons.

Thanks Lori. You are right. : )
Good for you. Working with plants and gardening supplies seems like a very life-affirming activity. And I like the stacked strawberry pots!

Thanks you are so right. I wish I had the money to invest in one them, but I still have my garden to work with so...

That's my dream - to work in a nursery. Actually, I'd love to own one, but I'd settle for working in one. Oh, to be with flowers and plants all day. I'm so happy for you!!
