Hola fellow gardeners. I have just returned from a three week trip to Costa Rica where I labored day after day exploring local nurseries and gardens with an occasional trip to the white sand beaches and local restaurants. Or was it day after day to the beaches and restaurants and an occasional trip to a nursery? Ah, what’s the difference? What’s important is that I spent three weeks somewhere other than here where it was still the dead of winter with cold, foggy days and even colder nights. I am thinking I might have to do this again next year, just to keep myself current with tropical foliage trends of course.
