Organic America Plants Itself in Royal Oak

The newest business to plant its roots in Royal Oak will host starting at noon Thursday at 32782 Woodward Ave.

Organic America will offer supplies for growers to nurture plants all year long, as well as seminars that teach the latest gardening methods.

Organic America is a store that helps "teach people how to grow their own vegetation," store spokesperson Nick Del Franco said. "Along with growing plants outdoors, we teach people how to bring them indoors and throughout the year."

Along with being a money-saver, "it's a really neat hobby and educational," he said.

Organic America's free event will include free seminars every hour on such topics as cloning, seedlings and fertilizers. The event also will feature a meet-and-greet, local doughnuts and coffee. A 25 percent discount will be applied to purchases during the event, Del Franco said.

"We're expecting a lot of great guests and a big turnout," he said.

Seminars will continue every weekend and signup will be available in the store.
