And don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It's quiet, but the roots are down there riotous.

You heard it here first!

We've got Bareroot Berries!!

We are thrilled that our bareoot plants are starting to arrive. So far we have several berry varieties to choose from (except, strawberries and grapes). This year we will only be able to provide you with potted grapes and they won't be available until April. As for strawberries, we should be seeing those late next week!

Some NEW eye candy in our Houseplant Sanctuary

We get very excited about houseplants around here. Well, we get excited about ALL plants, but this week we are especially excited about houseplants. Our Houseplant Sanctuary is looking very lush and full and is overflowing with new plant babies ready to find their forever homes. Listen up students! According to a study by the National Library of Medicine, "Interaction with indoor plants may reduce psychological and physiological stress by suppressing autonomic nervous system activity in young adults." If that's true, then we could all use more indoor plants for every room in the house!

And remember, we also have watering cans, houseplant fertilizers, saucers, cute indoor pots, moss, stakes, self-watering stakes, misters and soooo much more!

If you're in the neighborhood and need some decompressing then stop in and visit our Houseplant Santuary.

Plant of the Week...

Mt. Aso Pussywillow

A true show stopper, this mounded willow makes an ideal focal point in the winter garden, thanks to its arching habit and remarkable display of big, soft, pink, fuzzy catkins in March and April. Its flowering branches are in high demand in early spring and look terrific when cut and added to a vase. And, to make this plant sound even better, it is easy to grow and fast growing.
