DULUTH, Minn. (Northern News Now) – Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and while many children get their parents flowers, a local garden center sees an uptick each year for those hoping to give their mom an endless supply.
Growing Duluth is one of those gardening centers, and in preparation for the busy weekend, they officially opened their outdoor greenhouses.
They include selections of hanging baskets, flowers, vegetables, and decorative annual plants, along with their year-round offerings of houseplants.
The garden center has now been in Duluth for two years, and supplies all your gardening needs.
Growing Duluth Co-Owner Louise Kolthoff used to go garden hopping with her mother on Mother’s Day and believes plants are a great gift because they let a mother continue to do what’s best.
Mothers tend to be nurturing, and you can carry that nurturing on to a plant, and there’s plants for every mom out there; they can be very easy to take care of or very difficult to take care of, much like parenthood. They just bring a lot of joy,” said Kolthoff.
Now, Growing Duluth doesn’t normally sell cut flowers, but for Mother’s Day weekend, they’re giving mini bouquets out with any purchase.
