Over the past few years I have found gardening and tending to house plants to be a favorite hobby of mine. We are lucky enough in the Quad Cities to have The Quad City Botanical Center. My wife and I love going there to see all of the exotic plants and to wander their marvelously manicured grounds. For that reason, we became members of the QC Botanical Center and volunteer there once a month. As volunteers, we help visitors and help to maintain the grounds. I have also learned a lot about gardening in the process.
