Trying to direct someone else to get what you need at a plant nursery is nuts. Just had to describe a Geranium like, "You'll see like a stem coming up and the flower on top like a lollipop."
It worked tho
Aaaand they don't have the gopher cages I need so I still need to go out on Friday afternoon anyway. 🤦♀️
"The Power of Composting Plants: Reducing Landfill Waste and Supporting Sustainable Agriculture"
Composting is the process of breaking down organic waste into nutrient-rich soil that can be used to nourish plants and crops. Composting plants are facilities that specialize in this process, using various techniques to turn organic waste into compost.
Composting plants can help reduce landfill waste in several ways. First and foremost, by diverting organic waste from landfills, composting…

The last thing Eddie Diaz expects to come out of his trip to Buckley’s Plant Nursery & Landscaping with his son, is to develop an honest to god schoolgirl crush on the guy who owns the place (and not notice that that is what’s happening for an embarrassingly long time).
The plan is simple. Get in, have Christopher pick out a couple of succulents or whatever he needs for his school project, and get out without infesting any of the gorgeous plants in the shop with his bad plant karma.
But then, the first thing he’s greeted with is a hunk of a man, carrying two heavy packs of soil on his broad shoulders. Eddie swears he can see a drop of sweat running down the man’s face in slow motion. His t-shirt looks like it’s one strategic muscle flex away from bursting at the seams and Eddie—Eddie feels nervous all of the sudden. And he’s gaping like a fish.
“Hey,” Hunk-man says as he hoists the soil on the counter next to him with a grunt, “What can I help you with?”
At least Eddie has enough self-awareness to close his mouth.
Or: the one where Buck owns a plant nursery and Eddie stumbles through his crush (and has no game during all of it)—oh and also, there are a lot of Bob Ross references.

Well after surviving incessant deer raids and a few frigid nights this past winter, lo and behold, my sharp-lobed hepaticas (Hepatica acutiloba) are having a moment. Hepatica is one of the earliest-blooming wildflowers in Central Appalachia, but it's by no means an ephemeral. The plant's leathery, three-lobed leaves persist all year, even through the toughest winters. Hepaticas are an absolute must-have for a shady spot in a native wildflower garden, especially when planted around rocks and along edges - just too gorgeous for words.
Incidentally, I buy my live native plants from Rare Roots, a small, women-owned business within reasonable shipping distance of Morgantown. The plants are always immaculately packed and in good shape when they arrive. So far, so good - the plants I bought last year have survived the winter and are putting out new shoots. And I've ordered more for the spring, including Meehan's Mint and lyreleaf sage, two positively stunning native mints I'm eager to establish in my garden beds.
Around Halloween I saw this post that was like “most canned pumpkin is actually squash so you’ve probably never had a pumpkin pie with real pumpkin” and few posts have ever produced more smug arrogance in me. Get a load of this guy, they haven’t ever accidentally grown a bumper crop of 50 pumpkins in their front yard during a global pandemic and been obligated to eat them in every dessert for a year. Skill issue.
Look I just really like the idea of Remus being able to help Severus with his potion making by using his werewolf sense of smell to pick the best of the best ingredients.
Even if that same werewolf smell hinders him from actually brewing potions with any amount of success because the scents turn too strong and overwhelming for him to be around through any length of time when combined and brewed.
The Environmental and Cost-Saving Benefits of Plant Nurseries Composting Unsold Plants.
Plant nurseries are the perfect place to find a variety of plants to enhance your garden or home. But did you know that nurseries also play a significant role in environmental conservation? One of the ways that nurseries contribute to environmental conservation is by composting their unsold plants.
Composting is the process of decomposing organic material such as plants, leaves, grass, and…
Due to my seeds refusing to sprout, I've been forced to go to the plant nursery and purchase many seedlings. Woe is me (said in obscene southern accent whilst flinging myself dramatically to the couch)
How dare I need to grace their verdant aisles in search of the foliage I require!
Truth be told, I was an absolute goblin in the nursery. I was alone. Absolutely no social structure in place to stop me from chanting 'green things' over and over as I pet virtually every leaf in reaching distance.
