Thanksgiving Holiday Hours & Seasonal Gratitudes

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

This Thanksgiving we’re grateful for:
Customers who love plants – we love them too!
Our shop cat, Liam – and all of our visiting pups!
Changing seasons – which one is your favorite?
Rainy days – just when we need a little break
The beautiful things we get to create and are surrounded by every day – we are so fortunate!
And, of course,
All of YOU!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!

We will be open this Sunday from 12-4pm for your shopping needs the weekend after the Thanksgiving holiday, and our weekly hours are Monday – Saturday 9am-5:30pm. We have the freshest wreaths, swags, bows, and so much more for you! We’ll also do our very best to have things pre-made for last minute pickups. For everyone hosting parties, giving hostess gifts, or decorating, the greenhouse is filled with inspiration.

A reminder: Please give us ample time through the holiday season to design your containers/gifts, and remember, we deliver within the area!

Enjoy this holiday week, and we’ll see you soon.

Thanksgiving Arrangements 🍁🦃

Next week is Thanksgiving, and we know you’ve been planning your menu… remember, we can help with the centerpiece! Just bring in a container of yours for us to fill with plants, or browse through our offerings. Please be sure to get your order in soon though, so we can take the best care of you. We hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Our select grower of quality pansies and violas is working on a new crop of these cool-season beauties. They’ll be available soon, so we’ll have a good selection for any of you still looking to finish up your winter plantings. The temperatures this week should be perfect for them—and us!

We’re getting excited about the offerings we’ll have through the upcoming season. Garlands, mantel pieces, wreaths, and bunches of greenery are just the beginning of the options that will be available. It might look a little different without the Christmas trees, but we hope you’ll enjoy your experience here even more!

We’ll be able to continue to keep perennials, herbs, and all the wonderful ornamental greens—think mustards, kale, chard, and more—in stock this year. We also still have some beautiful camellias and other shrubs, including juniper and boxwood topiaries, for any larger containers you have.

This week, we’re also getting a truckload of rosemary topiaries, trees, and other evergreens from a new supplier. We weren’t able to carry these in years past, so we hope you’ll check them out, too.

We look forward to seeing you soon and hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

From Pansies to Pecans: Seasonal Essentials for Your Garden and Pantry

A customer came in the other day saying she’d been waiting to plant her pansies until it got colder. Well, this week fits the bill, so if you haven’t planted your planters and beds yet, it’s time!

This week, we’ll be getting in more veggies that are good for eating and ornamental, too. These include chards, mustards, and beets. If you haven’t tried them in your pots or beds, give them a go and see what you think.

Another plant many of you may not have tried yet is acorus. It goes out fast because the upright grass–like leaves add a different shape and good color to containers. This week we’ll be getting in white and green variegated and the gold acorus.

Bulbs are still available, but you need to purchase them soon. Remember, tulips must be chilled, away from any fruit, in your refrigerator for at least 6 weeks prior to planting. (You’re making them think they’re going through winter.) Though daffodils don’t need chilling, they will benefit from being planted when the soil is cold so they don’t begin growing too soon.

Our holiday food shipments have begun to come in, and it’s time to stock up! Cheese hooies can be frozen for use later as hostess gifts if you don’t eat them all first! Peanut and pecan brittle, pepper jelly and other jams, a new offering, squash relish (Delish!), and more are available now. Gather what you’d like and let us create a gift bag for friends and neighbors!

Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you soon.

Amaryllis Bulbs & Brittle Treats!

Our amaryllis bulbs have arrived! Many of you have already spotted them in the shop, but for any who haven’t, you’ll notice we have some varieties you might not find later. They’re right up front; take a look next time you’re in!

Maybe you’d rather start some paperwhites – they only take about 4 weeks to grow and come into bloom – just in time for the holidays and party season! If you don’t want to start your own, we’ll have them and amaryllis already potted up to give as gifts or for you to enjoy!

We’re also beginning to get in our holiday food offerings. Need some cheese hoolies to take to a party as a hostess gift? Stock up! They can be frozen and used as needed. Another great holiday offering in stock now are both of our brittles—peanut and pecan. (Which is your favorite?) We think the brittles make great gifts and party treats, and the reviews of them have been stellar!

We hope you’re beginning to plant your winter garden. We have the best pansies, snapdragons, foxglove, and so much more in stock now. Fall planting ensures healthy root growth and beautiful spring blooms.
