Best way to keep your two thumbs green
It isn't called the "garden lover's garden center" for nothing. The Mahoney's Garden Center, in Cambridge,
boasts the most extensive array of foliage around - and at reasonable prices (from $2 and up). Step inside
and delight in row after row of nature's best. Perennials, annuals, and indoor plants abound, as do
flowering trees, specialty shrubs, bonsai, cactus, and bulbs, bulbs, bulbs. Mahoney's even has its own
blends of grass seed and potting soil. The place may seem a bit overwhelming at first. But Mahoney's
offers several methods to help you cope. Chief among these are the store's band of roving clerks, many of
whom can be found fiddling over the flora, whistling a catchy "Hi-Ho" tune. Count on them for wise advice -
be it regarding the best organic bug spray in stock, or the perfect plant for your less-than-perfectly-lit
room. You can also plop down on the strategically placed benches scattered throughout the yard. Take a
deep breath and imagine your own version of paradise. With as many as a million plants - yes, one million -
Mahoney's can help you realize your green dreams.
Mahoney's Garden Center, 880 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, (617) 354-4145.
