Perennials At The Farmer’s Market

May 27, 2010 by Leslie (LadyMin)

Farmer’s Markets sell more than just fresh fruits and vegetables. Downtown Chicago has a market every Thursday at the Daley Center. They also have flowers, herbs, baked goods, cheeses, jellies and jams. The quality of the offerings are top-notch and the vendors are friendly and helpful. Sometimes there is some type of event or cultural festival on the plaza with food and entertainment.

Today I bought four more perennials for my new garden beds. Here they are sitting in my office window waiting to take the train to their new suburban home. They are Gaillardia Arizona Sun, Heliopsis Lorraine Sunshine, Eupatorium Phantom and Diascia Coral Canyon.
