I want to express my appreciation for the flowers that we got through Mary Smith and the city of Des Moines. I ordered too many (Mary was correct) and did my very best to get as many in the ground as I could. I did lose a few flats but did my best. I was not able to volunteer at the greenhouse this year because of a schedule conflict but hope to do it next winter. It is such a great experience. Many neighbors have been complimentary and that is so nice. The rain this year sure has been something!
