How wonderful that you were able to get that refund! <br />I have bought the majority of my plants at Lowe's - and many of them on the discount rack. I've had great luck with them. I went to the local garden center and their plants didn't seem as well cared for as those at Lowe's. Maybe we have an excellent garden center manager at our store.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949235207762990894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570308709067611215.post-38011331938220627832010-06-30T13:20:56.912-06:002010-06-30T13:20:56.912-06:00Oh, I loved your post!

I myself never think about it so never take them back but maybe I will IF I can find that receipt.<br />I am gonna try to find anotheer Souvenirs de Fleurs a book that my sister gave me right before she passed away. It is a garden journal with sleeves for pressing flowers.
