Why your support matters
Ah flowers. Can’t think of anything more beautiful than them, well maybe one or two. Beautiful women, fall foliage in Vt.
I am an avid flower gardener and in my prime for 30 yrs. had multiple flowers gardens all over Greenpoint. Mr signature one was in my backyard apt. complex, a rare 30 x 90 foot garden. I grew every flower that could be grown in this area including the winter where I had an enclosed protected space.
With old age, I have been limited to the area outside of 125 Greenpoint Ave. as you get off the subway and head towards the east river. My periwinkles and pansies are still in full bloom.
The flower/cat cozy coffee shop on Noble Street has a framed picture of some of the flowers I grew.
Good luck to you. Great occupation.
