Famous to most resident north-siders, Gethsemane Garden Center is the place you need to go to purchase your plants. As a person with a history of killing house plants (my ivy plant during my first year at Smith, several plants in previous apartments, and countless other experiences), I can't kill the plants I purchased at Gethesmane Garden Center. I've had 7 plants for over a year, and I haven't even killed them yet. In fact, they've grown tremendously.
As mentioned before, to be more sustainable, I've chosen plants over flowers. If you by them from a great retailer, you are committing to the greenery, and not getting the flexibility of changing flowers each week. But plants, as a non-pet owner, are my little pets that I nurture, and I've learn to love my commitment to them in the effort of being more sustainable.

Usually cut flowers are my go-to because they're easy. I have killed the one love succulent I thought was a good idea to have when I first moved in with Danny. I neglected the herbs I planted last summer and they're still on the patio just as reminders of my poor nurturing skills. I want some greenery in my life but I have no clue where to start. We should take a trip up to Gethsemane Garden Center together soon!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I need to get my outdoor plants/seedlings from there - maybe sometime in late April?
