Don't forget to buy local. Here's why.
If you're like me, love plants but don't have the deep pockets to sink all your gold into the earth, then you're on the lookout for bargains in the stores. You know the price of everything and notice when there is no deal to be had, frequent only the bargain sections regularly and watch the flyers for specials. The stores that discount their wares are the ones which get my loyalty. I was in a big box store after the holidays and I noticed a whole bin full of very healthy plants, orchids, violets, cyclamen all being chucked into the garbage instead of being discounted. I hate this practice of "shipping back to the grower" as they say, which just adds to our cost for plants in the long run. And what happens to all the plastic pots? Ask the store where you buy your plants if they recycle and accept returns. If you want to become more aware of the dangers of plastic in the environment, look here.
