Winter comes and goes... but lately, it feels like it’s mostly been coming.

It spent most of January hanging out like a visiting relative overstaying their welcome, finally giving us a brief break as January’s snow cover finally fell victim to milder temps, sunny skies, and a little rain. But as I write this, more snow and cold weather is in our forecast.

It’s not going away without a fight!

So, winter’s still here for a while. No big surprise there, but we are getting closer to the end. That’s the good news. I think we’re all ready for that,...at least, I know I am!

We’re seeing an increase in deliveries to the store in preparation for the spring season and little by little, things are starting to take shape for the new season. That’s a positive sign of what’s right around the corner.

It will be a little while before we start bringing landscape plants back out of their overwinter structures, but in our new greenhouse, Misty is continuing to keep us well-stocked with houseplants of all kinds. If you are needing a little green “fix” to help you through this last stretch of winter, stop on by.

While you are here, check out our new library corner Melissa has been working on in the store, and let us know what you think. There are a variety of reference books on gardening, plants, and landscaping for you to browse through while at our store. It’s a fun addition.

If there is anything we can help you out with as we all work through this next month or so, let us know. It’s what we love to do. And we could use the distraction!

We’re offering a fun distraction for you all, as well. If you’re looking for a winter activity, we are hosting a one-hour Terrarium Class this month. More details are available below in the newsletter and on our social media.

Think spring!
