Hugs Cafe opened Hugs Greenhouse on Oct. 30 at 3526 FM 543, McKinney, near the Trinity Falls development. The space includes two covered greenhouses; one open greenhouse; and a barn used as a break room, storage and office space. The barn is also used as a studio where employees, who are adults with special needs, can learn to make items such as wooden planters, wind chimes and more.

In addition to the barn the greenhouse will have a retail shop by the road where flats of fall bedding flowers or single potted flowers, such as pansies, violas, kale, dusty miller snap dragons and dianthus, will be for sale. The greenhouse is open Saturdays from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. until Nov. 11 and will be at the McKinney Farmers Market Nov. 11 and 18. All the proceeds will go toward the restaurant, expanding the Hugs mission and programs for special-needs adults. 469-301-6900. www.hugscafe.org
