What I sell are very unique, interesting wrought iron arbors, cast iron urns, moss covered terra cotta all sorts of interesting things. Thanks again. Alan,

But here's my very subjective opinion: I worked at a large garden center in the heart of D.C. from 1980-1992, and was the nursery manager/buyer from 1984-92. Since then I've been involved with garden design and consulting and seen alot of garden centers while travelling from Maine to Virginia to Seattle. Garden centers/nurseries/florists are a dime a dozen, but one thing I rarely see -- and think would do well with the right product mix -- is a niche-type business offering arbors, benches, gazebos, small greenhouses, wrought iron objects, unusual sizes and shapes of clay pots, harder-to-find annuals and perennials and, especially, topiary needle and broad-leaf evergreens. I'm thinking of opening such a business when I decide whether to stay in New England or move back south. Re: Chris’ question

Just curious and would love to hear opinions. Thanks. Chris. Hi,
