For some time, the promise of Rudy’s Happy Patch Market has been that customers will always leave with a smile. High-quality inventory, reasonable prices, and excellent customer services all contribute to meeting that goal.

As far as Perry Wellness Center founder and director Stuart Perry is concerned, flowering plants, strategically placed, are a big part of creating smiles for customers. They certainly bring them to his face. He explains, “I guess some people may think that my love for color and flowers is a mental health issue! But it is a love for life and beauty that I learned many decades ago from my parents. I try to share this color and pride in plants as I can at Happy Patch.”

Although the colors have lessened somewhat in the late buying season, a rose-colored bloom on a hibiscus plant brings a smile to this onlooker’s face.
