Gardening in sandy, overheated Florida is enough of a challenge. The impersonal, cold experience of a big box store is one more discouragement you don’t need. Head to Manny’s On The Bay for personalized advice from owner Manny Gil and staff on plants for inside and outside your house — from gerber daisies to roses to palm trees and more. 600 W. Hillsborough Ave., Tampa, 813-231-9681.
