I do a bit of gardening and I have heard of them. It's amazing how long some seed and plant companies have been around. I don't know if I would say that kind of business is recession-proof, but I would guess people garden more in tough times, which is how I kind of got into it. When I got laid off, I had more time and it was a nice break from sending out resumes no one would ever bother to read.

These are gorgeous as artwork. I'd love to have them on my kitchen walls.

I agree. They'd also look pretty in a sunroom or in a powder room.
