A lontime gardener friend and I visited Urban roots yesterday (Saturday) and were very impressed by the selection (being sold at fair prices) and the friendliness of the staff/volunteers. We found that basic tools are available at resonable prices. The diversity of the customers is worth noting...some traveled by car from other neighborhoods in the city and others came by foot hoping to select the perfect plants for their porch planters. It seemed that the customers present were multi-national - multi-ethnic but we all spoke the same language of the love of growing things - whether it be in a formal flower bed or a window box; a seedling or a large beautiful tree. Thank you Urban Roots for bringing us together!
