A greenhouse in May is a good place to learn optimism: rain drumming the poly, flats of green stacked out to the aisle, everything wanting to get outside. Pratt Family Greenhouse carries that out onto Newport lawns — mowing through the long light of summer, trimming and edging, mulch worked in around plantings so the beds keep their shape. Cleanups bookend the year, the spring rake-out and then the fall haul when the maples let go all at once. Growers notice what other people miss: the thin patch under the big tree, the strip along the road that always burns first in a dry July. Tend those two and the whole yard comes along with them.
