Gowanus Nursery
It's a very exciting time for ABrooklynLife's back yard. Bulbs are popping up, grass is growing, birds are playing in the bath, and we're desperately trying to spend money we don't have on copious amounts of green things. Enter: Gowanus Nursery on 3rd Street between Hoyt and Bond streets. Great, great, great place to spend your money on flowers. Right now they have mostly perennials in stock, lots of creeping, flowering ground cover, grasses, funky bushes, and a great staff to help you make sense of it all. Totally going back next weekend.
(Above is a photo of a succulent plant we picked up there for friends. It's called Little Pickle.

i totally agree. a great lil nursery, with fine, unusual plants that you can't find anywhere else.
We discovered the GN just before we left Brooklyn. Its one of those places that - after you've discovered it - you wonder how you ever did without it. Relatively.
you're great. thanks for getting us our own little pickle. we will repay you by quenching your thirst with beer. - Marsh
