January's Womens Work Day is always more about enjoying time together and less about working. We typically plan to visit interesting nurseries within an hours drive, or perhaps visiting an arboretum or greenhouse that is on display and open to the public. Though we always begin with a slew of maps and an itinerary, if we see something like a thrift store or shop along the way, we don't hesitate to add it into our day.
This year we visit a few nurseries that specialize in California native plants, had lunch in a "haunted" restaurant and stopped by a recently opened alternative thrift shop that we found along the way. My total purchases included Phlomis lanata, Ceanothus 'Joyce Coulter,' and a Royal Red butterfly bush. I know they can each grow fairly good size so I hope to find some nice large pots to put them in, considering we live in a rental house and I want to take these with me when we go.
Oh, and I bought a muffin tin for $1.50 at the thrift shop. I LOVE these places....
