Outside the flower box
And now a lesson in creative landscaping. Before you go with more of the same old blooms outside your business, why not think if there's something more fitting and buzz-worthy?
Take, for example, Anstead's Tobacco on McPherson Church Road. Sure, the folks who run that business could have gone with your basic lilies alongside their building, which was once was a barn. But they opted instead for Carolina Burley. The plants are would-be cigarette tobacco from a farm in Dunn, said Ben Anstead in an email.
The plants seemed to love last week's rain and are now about knee-high after five weeks in the ground. But don't count on smoking the leaves once it's time for them to be picked. "We want to bundle them and use them for decoration - hang them in various parts around the barn," Anstead said.
