Read moreJust wasted an hour of my day trying to buy a ton of plants at Ricky's Flower Market in Union Sq., only to return home hot, angry, and empty handed. After suffering through the 15MPH Procession of the Mouthbreathers down Somerville Ave, I got to Ricky's, only to find that there is no parking anywhere. Since their lot is ity-bity, there's not even a place to live park while you sit and wait for a spot to open up (no on-street parking to be found anywhere nearby).

From herbs to fruit trees, succulents to flowers, and so many things in between, their selection -and customer service- is top notch. I'm so glad I stopped in after biking by so many times and can easily say that this is the best garden center I have ever been to. I really can't...
