Let’s play a game! Where can you find this “park your pup” spot? 👀

🌟 Congrats to Chloe M., Evelyn I., and Kristin F. who correctly guessed the last “Where Is It?” challenge! ⬇️

Find this colorful decor on display at Armful of Flowers in Mt. Washington, an urban flower farm and gift shop tucked between homes on the hillside.

The shop is always decked out for the seasons — and they’re currently cozying up the place to get ready for fall celebrations, like Harvest Night Market on Sept. 20. It will soon be filled with spicy-smelling candles, apple butter, autumn wreaths, and more. Get ready to sip on hot cider while you browse the local vendor market, listen to live music, and pick your own flowers or pumpkin.
