2015 Happy New Year
It's a brand new year and the seed catalogs are here!
Did 2014 just fly by or what? They say the older you get the quicker the time goes. That sure is true from my old vantage point.
I just love this time of year. The seed catalogs are out. Even though the weather stinks, it's so much fun to go through them and dream about the coming season. I feel really lucky because even when it's nasty outside on sunny days the greenhouse is just like spring. I wish everybody had that opportunity.
You know, even though we don't hold normal business hours in January and February, most days we're at the shop any way.
If you're ever in need of a spring fix and it's sunny, give us a shout on Facebook and we can let you know if we're at the shop so you can stop out and get a dose of greenhouse goodness.
I hope 2014 was kind to you. If not or if so, my wish for you is great health, good friends and fun with family.
Happy 2015! Here we come!

----------- TIPS --------------
Limited quantities. If you put multiples of an item you want and we only have one in stock an alert will pop up on the desktop site telling you it is out of stock. That means the quantity you selected is higher than the available inventory. For example, Tufa Troughs are all unique. There is only one of each. Each week we take an inventory and add back products that might show as sold out. We’re doing this so we don’t oversell by mistake. So our product availability will change weekly.
iPad shopping. We learned that the pop-up screen where you enter your credit card info was a problem for some. At times the credit card fields were way at the top of the screen and some could not see where to enter their information when shopping on an iPad. This happened especially when they had big orders. If you have problems please message our Facebook Page. We’re learning right along with you and want to help.
