Tad Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 With all the origin threads going on I figured what a great way to start the new thread. This new thread will start off with how/where I got my kickstart into the nursery business and my love of plants. I am not going to dump a 100 pics at a time, we will work on this little by little, we have all year to get it done, and the way 2008 is starting off looks like I am going to have some really great projects going on.
