Memorial Day weekend marks the start to two big outdoor activities: gardening and grilling. The nursery and garden center industry in the U.S. will generate an estimated $43.2 billion in revenue this year, according to a report by IBISWorld. This includes farm stores, garden centers, lawn supply stores and nurseries that do not sell trees. (Tree nurseries fall into a different category.)

In this week’s episode, CulinaryWoman editor Micki Maynard looks at these fun and fruitful activities.
