All roses are on sale for $3. Mostly Weeks, maybe 1/4

available.

Shade and fruit trees are half off too.

Nice place if you've never been. The birds in the large cages
in the tropical greenhouse are my kids' favorite part.

"Marbridge Farms Greenhouse is part of Marbridge Ranch, a
residential facility for mentally handicapped men. The
residents
earn and learn working in the greenhouses tending the plants,
and the profits go to help continue the Marbridge mission"
quoth
the Chronicle on the subject. Marbridge is off of 1826 in
Manchaca.

1626?

Found it. No yellow roses, unfortunately, but I got two different
white roses, one of which is a yellow-white and the other of which
is a lavender-white. Also a red and a coral.

In general, I thought their prices were very high and their plants
not very healthy. But their seed prices on a few select vegetables
(broccoli, spinach, mustard, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.) were quite
good--50 cents for a huge scoop.
