The Living outdoors garden store

You know how after a prolonged winter you are so done with it? I have the tolerance for the winter season until about the New Year. After that I say bring on spring and warmth and most of all flowers! But, I live in Canada, where it feels like we have 11 months of winter in 2 weeks of summer. I am told that this is not the actual timeline, just feels like it to me. Meh...

I have found a cheat to the winter blues. You saw the Butterfly Conservatory pictures, right? That is one way to get the tropics on in my slice of the world. Another is by going to a garden center. I have several that I frequent during different times of the year. 

The Living Outdoors is my favorite because of so many reasons! Doug is always there to help and answer my multitude of questions, he sets no limit on how many I can ask either ;)

Also, just look at that home decor! I took some pictures the last time I was there. I also bought some Hellebore :)
