Curb Appeal plants, pots, pretty things

Four years ago Kathy Dzubak, KD for short, and her golden retriever, Lily, started Curb Appeal in her garage, planting pots, urns and window boxes for friends and businesses. They soon realized Curb Appeal needed more, well, curb appeal, and opened a storefront location. Like KD’s plants, Curb Appeal grew, bloomed, and soon needed to be repotted. KD and Lily found the perfect building nestled under some of the most beautiful live oaks Southport has to offer, and that was that. Curb Appeal moved to 620 North Howe Street, into a larger retail space and a greenhouse and a yard for Lily to lie in. But they couldn’t do it alone. Bobbie Brock, Mary Friend, and Dottie Nixa joined KD and Lily, adding their expertise and personalities to the Curb Appeal family.

In May, the Curb Appeal family expanded by two -- Ivy and Woody, the cutest puppies between here and Mars, were adopted by Kathy and are making special appearances all summer long at the shop. Pictures coming as soon as we can get them to sit still long enough to take one!
