Unique Garden Greeter
Succulents Galore
A surprise Greeter sat just off the parking area of
the garden nursery
What unique workers they employ
This one was sporting hair like fuzzy succulents and
had a nose with large nostrils,
green spongy stars centered on his face
Black sunglasses kept any glare off the eyes,
boots protected his ankles and the soles of his feet
Color-coordinated gardening gloves matched the shirt logo,
preventing thorns from poking fingers
The nametag was a bit hidden, but no matter,
his relaxed stance and wonderfully frilly beard that obscured his face
drew us in to browse
