Imagine waking up every morning and taking a walk around the outside of your home, admiring the palms and tropical plants. If only...if only I lived in the tropics and not Minnesota. You don't have wish anymore! A new trend in gardening is taking the country by storm. You can buy inexpensive palms at Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Lowe's for under 15 bucks! Lowe's also sells lager palms for around $35. Why not buy a large pot and make it even taller, potting a palm is a great way to create a "tree" effect with smaller palms. Yes, you can live in the tropics, or at least for the summer!
