It may be cold and snowing, but the primrose are beginning to appear in the markets. Spring is not far away! Remember to keep the plants in a cool place when you have them inside, and don't let them dry out. Speaking of Spring, join us at our February 16 meeting and learn about butterflies from Gloria Stevens of Springville Herbary. More on Primrose care
