Editorial Review for Southern States – by Pamela Bodkin
The Scene
Started in 1923, when the country was more agricultural than urban, and when country wasn't cool, marketing efforts have gone all out in some stores to capture the country chic gardening experience for city slickers. What a kick to stand in line with real farmers buying real farm necessities (grain, seed, fertilizer) while you pick out your Koi pond design or pot full of pansies.
The Goods
Along with plants, shrubs and herbs, it carries man-made ponds for even the tiniest city plots. Wind chimes, garden plaques, gingham gardening gloves, herb-scented bath products, and a colorful assortment of flower-covered mailboxes are accessory standouts.
