Many of the workers have been there since the beginning, but really it's so nice to work there that the majority of us settle right in. I can't believe the it's the 25th anniversary this year!

My family only allows me one or two visits. Plus, I would probably just end up drooling since I can't buy plants on a whim. Import and export has to be planned in advance and is not always worth the paperwork.
