Rose Acre Mitts
designed by Lindsay Potter

Taking a stroll through my town’s local greenhouse and nursery is one of my favorite things to do in the spring. Rose Acres has one of the most extensive collections of succulents in the area. It is inspiring to walk through and see the diverse colors and textures found in the foliage of plants.
