Here is the first in a new series titled “Gloucester Perspectives” where we interview people about their perspective of what makes Gloucester so freaking fantastic.
Erik Lorden steps up big after disappointing as a no-show in the Downtown Gloucester Merchants Flower Box Competition.
He knew he had to either come strong with some outside the box creativity or face being ridiculed by me for not representing.
The boy brought his A Game and creativity in his Sustainable Cape Ann best with flower boxes containing herbs that he uses in some of his tastiest dishes.
Upcoming video of Erik explaining the motive behind his new herb garden (no, not that kind of herb) in his newly installed flower baskets in front of Passports.

Since the Downtown Merchants Flower Box Competition, there have been at least 8 storefronts that now have Flower boxes that didn’t have them before the competition. I love it!

Are you kidding me????? It just doesn’t get much better.

There has been a trend that I’ve noticed since we did the Downtown Flower Box Competition.
That trend is of downtown stores and restaurants planting veggies and herbs.
Eric at Passports put up flower boxes after I gave himcrap about not having an entry in the Flower Box Competition and he decided to plant all kinds of herbs and hot peppers to use in the restaurant. That’s pretty damn cool!
The Topside Grill also has herbs that they plant in their Flower Boxes.
Now I found out Babara at The Dress Code has planted tomatos! I’ll be keeping track of the progress of the Dress Code Tomatos here on the blog. Here are the first pics-
