Spring is HERE!!!!

Just got our last shipment of flowers.  We have had some learning lessons along the way...including losing almost all the Torenia and Violas. 

After much research we found out that our flower plugs were root bound.

We released the roots on all the new flowers and hope to see more blossoms and beautiful plants soon.
