MAYO'S

Plants are a lot like babies. They need to be watered and fed. They need sunlight. They like dirt.

But then again plants don't cry, and they usually don't have to be changed. Forget about baby nurseries. The nursery in town worth visiting is Mayo's.

There, like "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," we'll find whatever we need to make our garden grow. Mayo's has everything from heavy machinery to fertilizer. And if your green thumb is more a shade of brown, it has a staff that can help you overcome your penchant for plant killing. After a trip to Mayo's, your lawn will look like something out of "The Day of the Triffids."
