The smallest garden center in the Chattanooga metropolitan area won the Viewer’s Choice Award this year. Their internal mantra, like Mighty Mouse, is ‘tiny but mighty’ and here they are, the winners! Gardeners in the Chattanooga News Channel 12 region stretching from Walker to Blesdoe and Cherokee counties, weighed in their votes for weeks.

“On one hand it is thrilling! I cried when they called and told us.” Cath shared. “Then I thought about the ‘bigger is better’ shoppers and how they may wonder what’s going on. People either appreciate what we are doing here or don’t.”

Other nominees included Ooltewah Garden Center, Barn Nursery, Ace Hardware and Lowes.

Amanda from Exploring Chatt interviews Cath about Bees on a Bicycle and the regenerative practices used at the shop. A video preview of the interview is here and the full 45 minute interview is available here. Amanda also wrote a blog post which is available here.
