Spring was long awaited this year and I plan to enjoy every
moment of it. Neighborhood walks are one
of the joys of living in Brooklyn and this year, my 2 year old son, Sage can
finally partake in the joy. We started
our day talking about seasons and the type of weather that we experience in the
spring. We read, Zinnia’s Flower Garden
by, Monica Wellington and then headed out for our afternoon walk.
Our main stop today was King County Nurseries. My mother used to take me to Kings CountyNurseries after school on Fridays in the spring. She rewarded me for a good
week by allowing me to choose a flowering plant, of which I always chose
tulips. Here I am, decades later, relishing
the same tradition with my son. We
walked up and down the verdant aisles learning about, herbs, flowers and plants
and reflected on the springtime story that we read earlier today.
I introduced my little one to the fabulous couple, Joe and
Lisa Merola who are the owners of the family landscaping company. Kings County Nurseries was founded almost 60
years ago. This husband and wife team
continues to serve Prospect Lefferts Gardens and beyond with providing everything
you want and need for your household gardening.
Additionally, they provide landscaping services throughout the
city.
It was a wonderful outing for Sage to see a family legacy in
action and interact with Joe and Lisa. This
visit, he chose to take home a Melissa and Doug Blaze Firefly Kid’s Flashlight. Apparently one of the chief buyers is the
couple’s 2 year old granddaughter who decided that they should carry the full
line of Melissa and Doug gardening supplies.
Stop by Kings County Nurseries when you get a
chance. It’s a great place to visit with
your family and get the supplies to grow your family garden together. If you are new to gardening, the staff is
knowledgeable and patient in helping you through the process. It is a powerful feeling to know that you
have grown the food that your family eats, or at least some of it anyway. Have fun, Creating Legacies.
