Coming to a Nursery Near You -
growing passion (create)

You walk into a nursery, pick up a beautiful plant in one-gallon container, pay for it, take it home and plant it in your garden. Ever stop to think about how that plant got to the nursery? We aren't talking about the truck that delivered it, but rather about what it took to breed, trial, propagate, grow, and then deliver that plant to the nursery. The process of bringing a new plant to market is astonishingly complex and sophisticated. It is a years-long, sometimes decades-long process, during which each plant is touched by dozens of hands. This behind the scenes tour of how plants come to market will give you a whole new appreciation for the industry and for the plants in your garden.
