He mentioned that the nursery would be stocking up lots of wonderful plants to usher in the Chinese New Year (CNY), such as chrysanthemum, little bird plant, golden money plant, bamboo shoots, lime tree and bromeliad. On top of that they even have plenty of CNY decorative items (very entrepreneurial!)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn9FGxSCfvwPCwjpShclFjGMcsWQsC5JqdCqeLbVzxwUh30E8FN4sFO2vp9tERoHy_ILQQHn0-tIdPBGUUCzTK5OL7g49CsoVh5J1rl7dbB-ggvyU3EX_RXZEe5_rAGvHFFPhkMlY9pMQ/s1600-h/2010_01_025.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422779839428223410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn9FGxSCfvwPCwjpShclFjGMcsWQsC5JqdCqeLbVzxwUh30E8FN4sFO2vp9tERoHy_ILQQHn0-tIdPBGUUCzTK5OL7g49CsoVh5J1rl7dbB-ggvyU3EX_RXZEe5_rAGvHFFPhkMlY9pMQ/s400/2010_01_025.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 250px; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><br />One thing that make this nursery stood out from the rest is that they have an in-house workshop to produce soil.
