Urban Roots is celebrating the acquisition of their building at 428 Rhode Island (at the five corners). They are stocked for Memorial Day with trees, shrubs, flowers, vegetable plants, seeds, and all sorts of greens. (See the drawing of the building below)
We stopped by last weekend and spoke with Monique Watts, Secretary of Urban Root’s Board of Directors. With nearly 200 member-owners, everyone at Urban Roots is excited about their new building, all of the upcoming neighborhood projects, and the new season.
The plants are beautiful, healthy and waiting for snug spots in your gardens, planters and lawns. Stop by and see what they have to offer. It’s a great weekend to garden.
Sunday 9 – 5 Mon Wed Fri 10 – 7 Tues Closed Thurs 10 – 9 Sat 9 - 7

I am constantly walking back to the cash registers with papers and plastics asking where the recycle bins are. And I’m repeatedly told that there is no recycling policy in place. That means that the only way to recycle is to do it yourself… and who wants to carry papers and plastics around with them until they … - Today, 10:41am

The Kids Are Alright
One of the things that I really enjoy at the Thursday at the Square concert series is watching all of the young people congregate on Main Street. Last evening I found out that there is a new policy in place that forbids these kids from hanging out near Lafayette Square. From what I understand, a couple of fights broke out last Thursday and a shop window got broken. I can understand that there should be a concern when these incidents happen, but shooing everyone away because a coup … - Today, 10:15am

I bought bags of the black mulch on Friday, definetly dressed up and "finished" my front beds ..... seemed like a great value at 6 bags for $20 and no drive to make.

Yes, this place is awesome. Go there and support it. One more reason NOT to go to Home DePot - if you needed another one.
