Eureka!

I finally found a place that has miniature pomegranate bushes! These have the intense orange flowers and even the fruit of the larger tree (I’m told that the fruit is essentially inedible, that it’s very sour)—except that all the parts are sized to fit my small balcony garden! Pomegranates often turn up in my art, so it’s natural that I would grow them.

Better yet is the “discovery” of the wonderful garden center that had the miniature pomegranate. To my sorrow, though it’s been there twenty-five years I have never before heard of it--but now I know. The large open areas surrounded by trees reminded me of my grandparents’ backyard. I was so blessed to find an interesting variety of healthy plants, helpful staff and a gift shop that looks like (at hurried glance since they were closing) it yields many treasures that I was almost overwhelmed—in a good way. The ground up grey surface underfoot even felt good to walk on. I’ll be back! http://kingsgreenhouse.com/retail
