Mehr Brother's Flowers and Produce

           Everyday on my way to school I pass a beautiful garden called Mehr Brothers. Every morning I am able to look at the beautiful scenery it provides on my not so pleasant drive at 7 in the morning to school. Mehr Brother's (or if your hip; Mehr Bro's) is the most incredible place you will ever visit in the Northern Virginia area. Located in Mclean, right outside of Arlington on the corner of Ball's Road and Old Dominion, a remarkable land mark, a remnant of years of hard work awaits to be discovered by those who take the time to drive in and just say hello.

A local resident found these kittens under a car and brought to Mehr's so that they could find an owner












Our family friend ended up coming and adopting one of the cats!!

At Mehr's everything is old fashioned so remember when you go bring cash to buy flowers because they don't accept credit cards!


If you want to learn more about Mehr's Brother's and their history I attached some articles and the address at the bottom that you can check out! Also if your interested in helping me volunteer, my mom and I are looking to help them sell their flowers at the Farmer's Market in Fall's Church and we could always use help selling them! :)
