The main dome at Ott's Nursery. |
Dried flowers have usually been the decorative accent in 13F (our unit). This spring we have gone the "live" route starting with a trip to Ott's Nursery in Collegeville, Pa. THis is one of the finest nurseries ever seen. They have a huge greenhouse and offer old vintage pull wagons in lieu of carts.
Choices? Uh, just a few. |

While 13F doesn't offer much direct sun, there is ample light with windows on the east, west and northsides of the building. We went with plants that require only moderate to low light such as violets, begonias, lilys and ferns.
