T
here are many wonderful things to enjoy about gardening, but procuring plants is by far my favorite. A leisurely afternoon spent at a well-stocked nursery is a great way to spend a few hours discovering a new variety of a favorite flower or just the right plant for that bare spot in your garden. We are lucky to have Farmers Market Garden Center on Elston Ave. right in our own backyard, but sometimes a road trip is in order. Indeed, the Irving Park Garden Club takes an annual field trip to a large greenhouse just to “scratch the itch” left by a long cold winter and a desire to “smell the roses.”
