Transform 2016
It's Time For A Change.
Shop and greenhouse 1 get a new look
Change opens opportunity for creativity. Change spurs growth, stretches boundaries and opens doors. Change transforms the world and us.
When we open up, we open ourselves to change. Perhaps through conversation with a friend or witnessing a sign of spring it starts. Just as a Monarch caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, we too can reinvent ourselves. Shift surroundings and spur vigor to create.
In January we met as a group and brainstormed. The question? Where do we want to take Distinctive Gardens into the future?
For us, it was relevancy. And simplicity. We wanted to see what happens when you take it down to the basics and really try to give people what they want. And have some fun while doing it.
Everyone got busy. Quin and Jay took over the first house and completely gutted the old benches. They built over 60 new completely transforming the first house.
While this was going on the entire shop got overhauled.
We were ready for change. And for a new way to present the things we love, plants, art, community activities and gardening.
Everybody contributed. Even the WEBSITE got a new look.
Introducing a new concept called “Shop Story”.
Shop stories switch like art shows.
Unfold like good books.
Pop with project parties.
And happen with community events.
Each seasonal story focuses on one theme.
Please join us for the opening reception of
"Transform".

----------- 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.
