By now, our readers know how important growing plants are to Perry Wellness Center founder and CEO Stuart Perry. He is also quite the salesman, which is one reason he places so many blooming plants around the campus – and particularly around Rudy’s Happy Patch Market.

Stuart explains, "I want our customers to arrive being their visit with a smile. I hope bright, colorful flowers will be a reminder to customers to come and shop. We have the east and west entrances blooming with color right now.” The power of suggestion at work: planting ideas along with flowers. (See what we did there?)

Pictured below is one of Stuart’s favorite smile-bringers: a bright bed of yellow snapdragon plants at the entrance to the west parking lot.
