A recent comment from a customer at Rudy’s Happy Patch Market is a typical reflection of how color trends are going this spring: “I love these colors and have been looking for plants with a pinkish-purple color. They are here at Happy Patch, and baskets will hang by my front door as soon as I get home.”

The popularity of pinks, purples, lavenders, and deep violets is on the rise, and the current inventory of potted plants and hanging baskets pays tribute to the trend. In particular, geranium and petunia baskets show off these vibrant colors.

Market staff and volunteers encourage locals to come by and check out the selection and prices.
