Light at the End of the Tunnel

Deb Savvy — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 07:21:42 +0000

Even though we’re in the midst of non-stop winter weather, there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. By mid-January the days become noticeably longer – and it’s actually time to start thinking about the spring garden.

First step – order your spring bulbs and specialty annuals. Take advantage of pre-season pricing.

And enjoy a much fuller selection. Exotic items are available only in limited supply, so when it comes to gardening it really is true that the early bird gets the worm.

Early shopping also means early delivery and savvy gardeners know that early indoor forcing can give you a huge head start on next season’s spectactular!

Wondering who was recently rated the best overall value for flowers by the Wall Street Journal. You won’t be surprised. I wasn’t.

It’s cold outside and the days are shorter and it’s more important now than any time of year to bring the sunshine and brightness of summer into the house. And what better way to do that than with plants and flowers?

This is a great time of year to send flowers and plants. As a hostess gift. A thank you gift. A housewarming gift. Or just because. It’s like sending someone a little dose of much needed sunshine.

Horticultural Therapy

Deb Savvy — Wed, 14 May 2008 02:53:35 +0000

It’s quickly becoming prime gardening season here in Chicago and all over the country. Already a few of my braver neighbors have planted their annuals and filled their window boxes. I’m not as confident that we won’t have one more cold blast before blooming weather is here to stay. That’s a bit of a lie – the truth is that I just haven’t been organized enough to get it done. It’s a big job – going to the garden center, trying to create a design for my window boxes from whatever they have available and then running home to get the planting done ASAP. It’s an event. I’ve found a way to get those container gardens rolling with a bit less effort – at Windowbox.com .

It’s a one stop shopping source for things related to container gardening. Windowbox.com offers a vast collection of gardening containers, custom windowboxes and supplies. They also provide all kinds of useful information, advice, and everything you need to experience the joys of growing plants in containers. They call what they do ‘horticultural therapy’.

Stumped for a thank you gift? Shopping for someone who has everything and at the end of your rope? Think Bonsai. A beautiful Bonsai Tree is a whimsical change of pace from flowers and always well received.

The Upside to Procrastination

Deb Savvy — Mon, 21 May 2007 04:14:45 +0000

Punctuality and planning ahead are admirable traits, generally rewarded with success and positive results. Gardeners know this as well as anyone. The longer you wait to get started for the season…. Well, you know the rest. Fewer options. Poorer results. Squandered opportunities. Never fear, that cloud has a silver lining in the form of big savings! While most online nurseries and garden supply houses have long since sold out of some of their most popular or unusual plants and bulbs, much of what’s remaining for summer planting is on sale for as much as 50% off! Sometimes even more. Couple that with a coupon code or discount offer and you can find yourself saving 75% or more!

The quality and health of what you get when you order direct from the nursery far exceeds anything you’ll find at your local garden center. Not to mention the selection. And the savings, of course!

Plants with Panache

Deb Savvy — Fri, 11 May 2007 02:34:13 +0000

Plants with panache. And fancy fruit. That’s their life over at Fancy Plants Farms. From the highest quality lovingly grown caladiums (a terrific plant for gifting, by the way) to the freshest Florida citrus and persimmons and homemade persimmon preserves and purrees. YUM! Perfect for gifting – or for treating yourself!

For Beauty Everlasting….

Deb Savvy — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 00:56:49 +0000

The only down side to sending flowers on Mother’s Day (or any other day, for that matter) is that you know that in less than two weeks your thoughtful, beautiful and (most likely) expensive gift is but a fond memory. If you’re looking for something of the same order that will last just a bit longer, we’ve got a great option for you. Consider the gift of a live topiary from FreshTopiary. Real trees are perfectly preserved at the peak of their beauty. No water. No maintenance. No worries.

All at about the same price as a nice floral arrangement.

Tomato Talk

Deb Savvy — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 02:43:22 +0000

There’s nothing like the taste of a just picked tomato. Bursting with flavor and freshness. Nothing like the flavorless watery tomotoes from the supermarket. Even in a big city, perfect tomatoes can be hard to find. But they aren’t that hard to grow. Especially when you start with the fabulous NY Times endorsed organic heirloom tomato plants. Feed your tomato habit with live heirlooms from Windowbox.com! They’ve got countless varieties, colors and tastes. All heirloom tomato plants and seedlings are 100% organically grown in California.

Tomatoes are a perfect choice for urbanites as the plants are well suited to container gardening.

All are plants of superior quality; all are beautifully planted in an elegant container selected to specifically complement the plant itself.

For most of us it’s way too cold outside to be thinking about gardening, but that’s exactly why we ought to be. It’s total bargain hunting season for gardeners.

Plan ahead for the Spring and save HUGE on supplies, decor, bulbs and accessories.

Evergreen

Here’s a delightful alternative to a floral arrangement or potted plant, particularly if you know the recipient has a ‘black thumb’. How about a fresh live preserved topiary? It stays green and perfect forever. No watering required.

A topiary can bring a splash of color to any room. I have tons of plants in my house but in certain spots nothing will flourish. And nothing looks worse than a dying plant. No more. A fresh preserved live topairy lives on forever.
