The owner of Midtown Nursery in Memphis, Tenn., will set up shop in two additional temporary locations this spring, Memphis Daily News reported.

By temporarily taking over two well-known sites of now-closed nurseries, Mike Earnest, owner of Midtown Nursery at 2120 Central Ave. at Cooper Street, hopes to cross-promote his permanent location.

Earnest, a native Memphian who opened his Central Avenue location in March last year, signed a lease for the vacant Stringer’s Garden Center at 2794 Poplar Ave. for the months of March through June. The building has been sold and most likely will be demolished after Earnest’s lease is up, but he found the prospect of working the site too good to pass up.

By the time Earnest worked out the details with Stringer’s he had already signed a month-to-month lease for the building at 4862 Summer Ave. near Mendenhall Road, which formerly housed another well-known nursery and organic produce store, the Market Basket.
