Thanks for your support Kemberly and others who respond. I have a "mom and
pop" nursery here in southern Missouri. Only the pop part is mostly silent.
He does help me with some of the heavy lifting. But it definitely is a lot
of work planting seeds and transplanting tiny plants and repotting again
when they get too big for that pot and again and again. Some of mine have
graduated from a cutting to 3 gallon pots in two years. It means a lot to me
for my customers to return and I try to remember all their names and what
kind of plants they are interested in. I try to give them all the
information on any plant they ask about and even some they don't ask about.
I think service is one of the most important aspects of the small nursery.
I for one, prefer them to the big chain stores and if one doesn't have a
knowledge of gardening the chain stores can be an expensive lesson.
Thanks to all who support their local small nurseries.
Jean in southern Missouri.
