After years of seeing their ads in the Indianapolis Star, we thought we'd see if this local business carried moss rose plants that we have had a hard time finding in years past. Not being people who enjoy spending their time driving all over the city to look for things to buy, we emailed Dammann's inquiring if they carried these. To our great glee, they replied to our email before 8AM that same morning and, to our even greater glee, they said that they did. So, this past weekend, we headed to their 30th St. location and were agog at the amount of flowers and plants that they managed to fit into the little piece of land that they have at the corner of Franklin and E. 30th Street. Kind and knowledgeable employees led us to the large selection of lush moss roses. That was our only purchase, that day anyway. As the weekend continued and our new found enthusiasm for gardening grew, we went back on Monday and picked up lavender, rosemary, sage, tomato and pepper plants. We are not natural green thumbs so this is all pretty new to us but we couldn't help but to get carried away when we smelled the rosemary and sage plants. We'll see if we can maintain our horticultural enthusiasm throughout the summer (and we'll see if we can maintain the lives of these plants) but it felt good to give Dammanns our business and it is a joy to browse there.

We have a Dammann's on the southside as well. It is marvelous!
P.S. Thanks for visiting my blog! The little dog in my last blog post is actually a long haired chihuahua. A lot of people think she is a pom though - :). And yup, she is a good little helper in the backyard! She makes sure none of those pesky neighbor kids make it past the 6ft tall fence. She has this little spot where she can see under the fence and she will lie her head on the ground to see out and back at passersby - too funny!
