And I LOVE the fact that it’s at The Arena at Gwinnett Center … so easy to get to from Forsyth County.

Pike Nurseries to offer free repotting, advice

DULUTH, Ga. -- One of the best ways to add a little life and color to a drab apartment is "container gardening," or decorating with potted plants.

Pike Nurseries is taking the guesswork out of caring for potted plants with a series of free repotting sessions at all its metro Atlanta locations.

During these Repotting Days, novice gardeners and expert growers alike can ask questions and learn how to perfectly repot with Pike employees. Potting soil and other necessary tools will be provided; customers can also choose to bring their own pots and plants.

Repotting Days will be Saturday, Feb. 11; Sunday, Feb. 12 and Monday, Feb. 13.

Metro Atlanta Pike locations include:

Acworth
* 3602 Cobb Parkway

Alpharetta
* 2955 Holcomb Bridge Road

Pal’s boats a full bar and enough tunes to sing yourself into oblivion, take a date. They’re located at 254 Auburn Ave in O4W.
