I know that at any good nursery, the staff would say they are there to help, but unlike a lot of businesses, I know that staff at a nursery have their "plant chores" to do while they are working so unless they offer I've been reluctant to bug them. I'm trying to get better about that though. I hope some day that they will know my name. It'll feel like walking into my very own Cheers.

Recently, I've become more willing to ask at nurseries, and it has really paid off. I've gotten a number of plants that weren't out in the regular display area, but were tucked away in a back region. And, at my favorite nursery, the owner now greets me by name. :-) -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697737974013665829.post-72228493501101413422011-08-11T19:17:54.288-07:002011-08-11T19:17:54.288-07:00Linniew - Thanks!

Are they money grubbers? <br /><br />Gardenwalk - I can be outgoing, I guess, but only when I know the people I'm around.

It has taken me out of my own head, which is a good thing. Too often I stay cocooned in the blare of my ipod (currently Juanes) fearing...rejection? It's nice to notice that when one finds the right spot, there's also acceptance.Stephanie Cavanaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161288102578516246noreply@blogger.com
