It's Sunday and Open Houses in MA are abundant. Buyers pull up in their cars to and look out the window at the property they are about to take a walk through. First part of the home they see this moment is the front yard.....and it better look good!

Our advice if you're the owner of one of the many properties opened for viewing this Sunday? Take a trip over the newly renovated Wilson Farm in Lexington MA for everything you'll need to make your yard look colorful, warm and inviting. Their plants are hardy with many varities to choose from on their easy to access "farm stand".

So take a look:
