Small variations in the weather or the calendar can greatly affect individuals’ buying habits, as Rudy’s Happy Patch Market knows well.

“We have a great selection of plants in our greenhouses, but I have learned that the colder weather and timing of Easter and spring can affect the buying habits of our customers, “explains Perry Wellness Center founder and CEO Stuart Perry.

Many routine market customers have not yet ventured out to enjoy the splendor of the sprawling greenhouses. These greenhouses have provided a sheltering environment to young plants during recent episodes of wind damage and winter chill. With stable heat and moisture, the plants are soon to be at full color.

“When the flow of customers does increase, we will be ready,” Stuart says with a smile.
