Cha-ching! (5-4)

Redenta’s Garden, one of the Dallas/Fort Worth area's first "natural" garden centers, is opening a mobile retail location in Fort Worth this month.

Redenta’s is parking its charming vintage trailer in the parking lot behind the Chat Room, a local watering hole on Magnolia Street, one of the city's better-traveled thoroughfares. Plant-wise, the retailer will offer a selection of veggies, herbs, perennials, and grasses for springtime gardening. The mobile operation also will have plenty of organic gardening supplies, and probably a random assortment of fun garden stuff.

The trailer will be on the street Saturdays in May from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (and possibly longer, depending on weather and interest).

Redenta's, which has specialized in organic gardening since it opened in 1992, chose the location for its concentration of like-minded individuals and businesses, who/which are largely open to new and unique concepts. If the response to the mobile vending trailer is strong, Redenta’s will likely seek out a place for a permanent brick-and-mortar location on the Near Southside region of Fort Worth, near the mobile store.

This unique concept is already drawing buzz from the locals, buzz that Redenta's hopes -- and plans -- to convert into "Cha-ching!"
