When I first discovered these Flora Grubb-designed succulent ornaments, I couldn't believe how simple and brilliant they were.

There's nothing like a good desk plant to liven up your cubicle and brighten up a day at the office, not to mention the great feng shui benefits.

I went through my pots of succulents and broke off the smaller ones for a grand total of Read more

For years, my experience with orchids was spotty at best. Oftentimes they died shortly after blooming, and I never had any that rebloomed. But three years ago I was given an orchid that has, since that time, rebloomed eight times, and just this past week, another orchid displayed three new flowers. When I met with gardening expert Flora Grubb last week, she told me that the real secret to orchids Read more

Since the town has won this award for the second year in a row, it's safe to say that its residents must know a thing or two when it comes to keeping their plants and flowers in top shape.
