Spring has officially sprung.

Flowers are blooming and gardeners are flexing their green thumbs. But it’s a different kind of spring this year with so many people at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

If you’re a gardener, though, you’re in luck, as many nurseries and florists have kept their doors open for patrons. 

We talk with a local nursery manager and gardener about the value of gardening as coronavirus pandemic continues.

Guests
