COLORADO SPRINGS — Local garden stores have found creative ways to keep business going.
This time of year people often look forward to spring, and this year it offers a chance to get outside in a safe space with a healthy alternative to big crowds.
But with Stay at Home Orders and a drop in customers, some stores are offering curbside service, masks, and other preventative measures.
For some it's a sign of hope.

Curtis also said she thinks the shutdown has people thing more about home and self-reliance.
