A Grower Perspective

 I believe High Schools would benefit from having giant swing sets, so would corporate offices, I'm sure. Everyone needs recess to recreate, regenerate and just relax. Today I had recess. Three of us from the nursery went to Maryann's nursery, Clearwater Nursery just on the other side of Mount Pisgah from us. Lorenzo and Pedro went to deliver plants. I went to ogle plants. I could have stayed there all afternoon, filled up our truck with Maryann's plants and been very happy. But my recess was 20 minutes long and just a taste of inspiration. Clearwater Nursery is full of all shapes and sizes and colors of evergreens and other plants. They propagate unusual and collectible plants and are doing some for us so I visited the babies and saw the parent plants the cuttings came from. In planning a new display garden for our nursery, I played pick with many of her larger plants to add as focal points. So I had a sunny recess which will allow my creative juices to flow all afternoon.
