That brightly flowering bed of perennials lining the driveway – not a good hide-and-seek spot. But the row of shrubs in the backyard or the shade tree up front would be perfect hiding places before the person who is “it” counts down from 10. But the value of plants goes beyond hide-and-seek. With the right advice (Griggs can provide it), trees can be a focal point, annuals bring seasonal color, shrubs can provide privacy. Griggs can help with fruits and vegetables, decor, even indoor plants. They also offer an array of native and drought-tolerant plants. Yes, roses, too. But a warning: Never hide in those.
