The Farmer’s Daughter: A flowering of spring

We’re smack-dab in the middle of winter. Unlike recent winters, this one truly FEELS like it. The arrival of spring flowers, well, that seems like a far-off dream, right?

Not at The Farmer’s Daughter Flowers in the North Side’s Deutschtown section. The store is a bit of a magic elixir for the dreariness that overshadows this time of year. Colorful blooms, handcrafted soaps and bath salts, and shiny jewelry tempt the senses the moment you walk through the door.

For hands-on folks, try a spring workshop: Learn about growing a cutting garden, or herbs for a cocktail.
