Just a quick note to check out The Mercury today for our Lawn & Garden section. It's full of helpful tips for planning this year's garden and landscape. Also check out the local advertisers, because it's going to be a big weekend for nurseries and greenhouses.

And speaking of greenhouses, on our Berks County shopping pages in today's paper, there's a wonderful article on Glick's Greenhouses (my personal favorite) in Oley. Cider, Glick's furry mascot, is ready to ring you up at the register!

Also featured in this section is Spring Garden Farms in Birdsboro.

Remember to save some money this weekend for Monday's big Spring Bedding Plant Sale at the Western Center for Technical Studies in Limerick. It will feature their greenhouse grown annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables, hanging baskets and flower pouches. The sale runs through May 10, with hours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Check it out.

And coming up on May 5, The Mercury will publish its Home & Garden magazine. So don't miss your copy!
