So I love plants, but the site for D’s Garden Center is at the old Garden District Nursery site on Government St. and will not only offer her repertoire of beautiful plants, but also a GREENHOUSE where dining will be offered, and an adjacent offering of the Barracuda Tacos and Margaritas with outdoor seating! Anticipated mid July 2022.
