Great weekend jaunt with my botany inclined daughter a little bit ago. She took me to see the
Green Valley Nursery in Hawthorne, NY, a beautiful nursery with a family farm feel to it, I love places like this that have real heart and soul.
I love greenhouses, like a mini trip to the Botanical gardens. I was also wanting someone's very nice jeep parked out front. There was an older gentleman sitting in a golf cart who was a family member and gave me great advice about planting. There was a really cute family dog and of course, the greenhouse cats, cannot be a proper greenhouse without greenhouse cats. ALso liked the other members of their menagerie.
We bought some lavender for the rock garden and a wee stone owl to guard the flowers in the front yard. Flowers, leaves, the smell of dirt, of distilled sun through the greenhouse glass, what could be more lovely on a weekend afternoon?

Hey Steve,
You are invited to follow my I love God, too, but I don't have to put it in caps on stranger's pages blog. I have nice photos, too.
I have a botanically minded daughter or two and it's a favorite thing to do, going to a greenhouse or a garden or nursery together. Takes hours! because we have to look at everything forever. Those plant-animals you saw are a riot!
(I finally had to block that Steve fellow, after I got his "comment" many times.)
Hi Grechen, it really is a lovely way to spend some time...like a mini jaunt to the Botanical Gardens (which are nice but kind of a giant deal to get to etc.).
