My Happy Place
by Stephanie Fleming, Behnke's Vice President 

 For the last month I have been in my happy place. Most who know me will think that is because of our new little granddaughter Zoe and they would be correct. I am also in a very happy place watching our customers on these beautiful Spring days as they come out looking for that special something that will add joy to their lives. Over the past few years we are seeing such an increase in young families coming out to shop. Friends, husbands, wives, and best of all, children. Our children, those amazing wonderful little people who are our future. Parents are teaching them early about the wonders of nature. Letting them explore and help pick out which flowers they like. Young families are learning about vegetable gardening. Best of all, I see phones put away and Moms and Dads pointing out flowers and trees to their kids. Yup, I am in my happy place whenever I see a whole new generation of gardeners at the garden center.
