May Flowers

This long, cool, rainy spring has brought us some beautiful blooms to enjoy!

We are cutting bouquets on request as well as having sweet little nosegays and arrangements made up fresh from our garden and ready to pick up.  They're a great little thank you or hostess gift!

     

This is a perennial yellow foxglove that likes part sun/shade .  

 One of specialties is container gardening. We love to help customers find the perfect combinations of plants for their window boxes, pots and planters.  We are also available to do on-site potting at your home or business.  Call us for more information or to set up an appointment.

Spring Open House

Today marks our 7th Annual Spring Open House!

We have been super busy getting ready for our busiest time of the year.  We have gotten in a great selection of perennials, pots, garden tools and amendments, and of course exciting new gifts that every gardener or garden lover will be thrilled to receive.  We also went ahead and got in some annuals for colorful container or bedding plantings for those who just can't wait any longer.  We've been having perfect gardening weather, so come in today, or sometime soon to see all that's new!

Workshop Sign-up

We have started using facebook as way to spread the word about our workshops.  You can invite your friends on facebook to join you to a class or workshop you are attending, or if you think you know someone who might be interested.

For those of you not into facebook, we have our schedule posted here on our blog on the right hand side, along with a link to sign-up. If you sign up online, we will call you to officially register ahead, to save you a place in the class.  Also, in case you didn't know, our monthly e-newsletter is a great way to stay informed about classes and other events here.  The sign-up for that is also over on the right hand column.   Thanks for your interest and we look forward to offering more classes through the year!

Waiting for Spring

In anticipation for spring, we are getting in new items for the season every week.  We are currently unpacking our largest delivery of new pots for the year, stay tuned for some photos-there are some real beauties this year!

Even though the first offical day is still 3 weeks away, you can come in and get a shot of spring and some great ideas too! 



 
 We are stocked up on flower and vegetable seeds. There is a whole selection of seeds that could be sown outside this month!

 

Workshop Schedule for the New Year

Wow, January is flying by!  We have been to market and are excited about the coming year and growing season.  Many of our customers have been asking for more workshops, so we've been reaching out to crafters and seasoned gardeners to bring you some interesting additions to our list of classes.

Here's what on schedule so far, make sure to sign up for our e-newsletter and/or 'like' us on facebook to get up to date changes and new ideas.  Registration is required.  Call us to sign up at 828-658-3700 or to find out more information about each class.  Some classes will have a size limit.  If you would like to schedule a class with a group of friends outside the following dates, please call us to discuss; we very well may be able to accommodate!

Christmas Flowers

We have found over the years that our customers prefer interesting alternatives to the traditional red poinsettias. Here are some of our favorites that you'll find in our shop this year.

Marble Star Poinsettia

Dark Pink Poinsettia

Red Glitter Poinsettia

Winter Rose Poinsettia

Another wonderful addition to any celebration during the winter months is forced bulbs.  We have Amaryllis, Paperwhites, and Hyacinths.  Pot them up and put them in a warm, light-filled space. While the garden outside is alseep for the winter, it is so sweet to watch them emerge and grow into a flower indoors.
