I got more containers than I really need from a small mom and pops nursery that closed down and sold their property. I was a regular customer for years and ask them if they were going to keep the containers they told me to come back in a few days and they would have them ready for pick up along with a surprise…they had handmade wishing well planter that was beautifully arranged with plants; every-time I see it I think of them. I been going to their nursery for many years and I learned more about plants from them before YT was popular.
Thank you Tina for sharing this wonderful experience. It is so beautiful! There used to be a nursery near my place, but at that time I was in apartment, so didn't have enough space to grow, and when I did, that nursery closed. I felt so bad because I always wanted to visit it and get to know them because it was a small business. Your experience somehow gave me comfort. Thank you!
I'm shy, too, and never thought about asking the local nursery. Great idea!
I know the feeling 🙂 I practiced a couple of times before calling them. They were nice though.
