Herself’s Houston Garden

Mercer’s March Mart is coming up soon. Today the staff at Mercer was kind enough to give members of local garden clubs a tour of the greenhouses where they grow plants for Mercer and for the sale.

I’m told they will have a ‘Trunk sale’ with several large trees at deeply discounted prices, in case you’ve got some to replace.

One of the new plants they have in is a tropical milkweed local gardeners can use to attract the monarch butterflies when they pass through here.
