Planting Season: Opening Day of my Favorite Planting Store

Inside: Some wait for that first crack of the baseball bat or when the local pool opens. Me? I look forward to a different opening day.

open flower and plant market — Alana with the fruits–or, rather, flowers–or her and Bob’s labor!

Opening Day of my Favorite Plant Store

Despite rain clouds and a chilly morning, Mom and I stopped by Sugar Grove Growers for an eye feast, taking in rows and rows of gorgeous blooms exploding just in time for opening day 2022. A year has passed since Bob and Alana made the move from their previous building to the spacious lot with tents and outdoor displays which gives the new location a real open-air market feel, with plenty of room for browsing and enjoying the wide variety of flowers, houseplants, and vegetables.

We happened to catch Alana for a couple of minutes between juggling customers, workers, and plants–and in a spare moment she even managed to find a home for a couple of Mom’s kittens! Busy lady!
