“One of the things I like best about this time of year is looking at the new varieties of plants that are available for next year. I decide which ones I’m going to order, and I Feel like a kid in a candy store! I can’t grow them all, so I decide which ones are the coolest. It’s really fun. Here are some new plants we’ll have at Sprucedale Gardens in Spring 2015.”
