From The Daily News
A nursery in Midtown whose owner likes to jump at opportunities will spread its green thumb to two new locations in time for planting season this year.
By temporarily taking over two well-known sites of now-closed nurseries, Mike Earnest, owner of Midtown Nursery at 2120 Central Ave. at Cooper Street, hopes to cross-promote his permanent location.
Earnest, a native Memphian who opened his Central Avenue location in March last year, signed a lease for the vacant Stringer’s Garden Center at 2794 Poplar Ave. for the months of March through June.
Moves, switches
The popular nursery building has been sold and most likely will be demolished after Earnest’s lease is up, but he found the prospect of working the site too good to pass up.
