Her space has continued expanding and now encompasses over 138,000 square feet. “I started out in that first greenhouse,” Gina said. “And I just kept adding plants. I like finding new varieties and colors to add to the mix, so there is something different every year.” One of the things she enjoys most is putting together container gardens for herself and her customers.

It is so much fun to work with customers in selecting their plants and teaching them how to put it all together.” Gina’s plants also include a wide variety of succulents that are ideal for container gardening and require less maintenance, ideal for those without a “green thumb.” For those who want to establish perennial beds, she has plenty of plants and advice for creating successful, lasting gardens. “It is important to understand each customer,” she explained. “Some are really good at maintaining their selections, and others struggle, so I try to instruct on how to 16 Garbage trucks registered/21 inspected; 1 Jail inspection; From page 1 18 Household sewage treatment systems repaired or replaced licensed and inspected; using $100,000 in fund4 Public swimming ing obtained through pools licensed and OEPA-Water Pollution inspected; 17 Water samples col- Control Loan Fund.
