The Countdown is On: We’re Re-Opening Friday, March 28!
We’re almost there—our Garden Center re-opens on Friday, March 28, and we can’t wait to welcome you back!
Behind the scenes, our teams have been hard at work:
- The Retail Team has been busy unpacking deliveries, dusting, organizing, and training to get everything ready for you.
- The Greenhouse Team has been planting (since January!), watering, sowing, and caring for our homegrown plants—the first flower buds of the season are starting to pop open!
- The Landscape Team has been designing, scheduling, and preparing—including exciting new hardscaping plans for our Wine Garden. Stay tuned to see the transformation unfold!
Fresh Updates this Week:
- We’re Hiring!
We’re still looking to fill a few key positions to complete our team. Check out the openings here. - Pre-Order Your Cut Flower Garden Kit
Our Grower, Lauren, has been busy sowing seeds for our Pick-Your-Own Flower Field, opening late June (weather permitting). This year, she’s sown a little extra to create Cut Flower Garden Kits—fun, easy-to-grow, and available for pre-order now. - Host Your Summer Celebration in Bloom
Speaking of our flower field, did you know that you can reserve it for your summer celebration or gathering? See available dates and details here. - Get a Head Start—Shop Pre-Orders Now
It’s still early to plant most things, but if you want to get ahead, our pre-order selection is live! We’ve carefully chosen these early offerings because they often sell out quickly (like our streptocarpella baskets and shrimp plants) or because they’re one-of-a-kind (like the tri-color sunpatiens or InstaGarden perennial kits). Browse and reserve your favorites here. - Spring Classes & Events—Reserve Your Spot
Join us this season to learn something new or create something beautiful! The morning session of Junior Green Thumbs, our 5-week children’s program, is now full, and there are still spots available in the afternoon class. Also check out Our Container Club, where our planting party continues with each new season. Explore the schedule and sign up here.
We’re so excited to kick off another season of growing with you! Remember: Growing a garden isn’t just about plants—it’s about nurturing your body, calming your mind, and connecting with the world around you. Keep it simple and take it all in. As gardening expert Niki Jabbour puts it:
“Start where you are, use what you have, and grow what you love.”
