I. Episode Summary & Links

In this episode, Ryan sat down with Ellen Veselenak and Mellissa Marguerite of the Green Witch Gardens (formerly known as The Flower Market) in Monroe, Michigan. In the interview, the gang discussed Melissa's and Ellen's personal history with plants, how they came to purchase The Flower Market, their approach to caring for Michigan's largest bonsai nursery, and their long term goals for their nursery and for the local bonsai society. This was an in person interview that was recorded while Ryan was in town for a program with the Ann Arbor Bonsai Society. Please excuse any extraneous background noises from a working nursery.
