It seems as though February just may be a quiet time for outdoor gardens, and with few visits from  Jack Frost this winter, I am really eager for the spring and having intoxicating thoughts  about getting down and dirty in my spring and summer garden. I am wondering who in our Neighborhood is having some of these same dirty thoughts? If you are passionate about gardening and enjoy writing, I would like to have you guest blog on our website. It is my intention to get a few good writers and a few good gardeners hand picked from our very own neighborhood, give them (you) recognition and share your passion and your knowledge about topics that you enjoy. They can be insightful, witty, edgy and/or  entertaining, but they must be factual! If you would like to be a part of what I am calling our "Grubby Writers" by supplying content and photos and having us Publish them on our blog for everyone to read, please contact me. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   

Articles should be 500 words (give or take) and we maintain editors rights and can change words as we see necessary. This will be fun, I have listed a few Titles to get your creative juices flowing, you can choose one of these titles and run with it or you can choose one of your own. But, you must contact me first, this is not a paying position, just an opportunity to be involved in our community and to be recognized for your hard work. Have fun and be inspirational.

Our first "Grubby Writer" will be Jeffrey Margulies from Roslindale, he will be writing about "Compost, Compost, Compost" You can expect to read his  Article next week and I hope to have you all sign up with me soon!

Other suggested Titles  you can choose from include but are not limited to:

"Vegetable Gardens" (Beet the heat) (Stringin' Beans)

"On the Edge" or "Edgy" (gardens that act as borders)

"Counting Birds" (things you can do to encourage wildlife)

"Wild about Susan" (wild flowers to include black-eyed susans)

"Herb Garden" (including recipes for rosemary chicken or Basil pizza)

"Fun things to grow in the City" (suitable for Urban cultivation)

"For less weeds toss seeds" (from seed)

"Garden Dilemmas"

"Garden Humor"

"Patty-O Perrennials" (container gardens for the patio)

 "Cold Climate Gardening"

"The story of a Garden"

Want to drop a really heavy hint in your loved ones direction? Saunter casually by our wedding (planning) open house. 

We will have a beautiful assortment of wedding arrangements on display, as well as information available from other wedding vendors.

It's a nice relaxed time to wander through the shop, and we are here to discuss your needs if,

perhaps, you have already decided to tie the knot

   

 and have questions about what flowers will be available on your wedding date, or which look might be right for your venue.

This may be just what you need to keep the superbowl weekend testosterone surge at bay, so keep us in mind. No need to skip the nachos, but come get a sweet floral perspective on your future and let us answer any questions that you may have. Can't wait to see you. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Ahh, Valentines Day PDF Print E-mail

written by Cat Thomson

Here we are in the doldrums of January..the world is quiet. our feet are cold at night and so, that person whose legs help warm them deserves gratitude! As florists, Valentines Day is always in our thoughts, as it takes some serious preparation, but really, it's only a month away. "flowers" you say, so predictable! and our response "for a reason"

What better gift in the midst of the dark winter months? What more representative of the smile our beloved can coax out of us on even the bleakest of days? Flowers are a classic and yet still perfect expression of the poetry of romance. Hey, we don't mind if you wrap the diamond necklace around one of our gorgeous bouquets, but definitely do not forget the bouquet. A symbol of love for all time, you can go with the classic and ever stylish red rose...

but why not try something a bit different? Tulips, a breath of spring...

 

 

Thistle for your sometimes prickly sweetheart...

Protea for the individualist...

hiacinth for the sweet scent more intoxicating than the most exclusive perfume.

 

Let us help you-be not afraid! Flowers are love, and we love to help you express yourself. Talk to us now and pick up the necklace later, if you must.

 Some of the items in our shop this week.

The Holidays are now behind us and we look forward to a new year with much promise.

Poinsettias are gone and replaced with pin cushion protea and campanula!

All things green and a selection of Motawi Tiles take center stage. They look crisp and Fresh!

 

Time to read or try a few experiments in the kitchen and we can help.

 

And if the lights go out there are always candles. How do you like those Apples?
