Spring is almost official! At Rudy’s Happy Patch Market, it is time for the annual inventory replacement of many popular plants. The market shelves have been almost empty, but now market staff are working to better last year’s market goals.

“When all the shipments have arrived, we will have over 2,100 plants for our early customer selection,” staff member Kelly Jansen explains. “We want them to visit Happy Patch Market and ‘leave with a smile.’”

One thing keeping Kelly busy is keeping room clear for parking. Plant deliveries in the parking lot have led to occasional complaints about lack of parking space. Along with peer Awan Smith, Kelly is pictured, above, loading several flats of plants for immediate relocation.
