🌿 And that’s a wrap on our retail hours for the season! 🌿

What a year it’s been! 🩷

I truly can’t thank you enough for every kind word of encouragement, every post shared, every comment, and every person who chose to shop at the Garden Center this season. Whether you stopped in to shop, asked a question, shared something I posted, or simply cheered me on from afar, it all means more than you know. Running a small business is a whole lot of work, and I’m so grateful for the support you’ve shown me and this little Garden Center!

While our retail hours are officially done for the season, I’m not disappearing completely! 😊 I’ll still be around here online, and pre-orders for our winter porch pots will still be available. We just won’t have regular retail hours at the Garden Center.

Spring through fall is a busy season filled with long days, hot weather, lots of planting, and a whole lot of work behind the scenes. As grateful as I am for how this season turned out, I’m also more than ready for a little slower pace, some much-needed rest, and extra time with my family. ❤️

And speaking of next season… 👀 There are a few changes coming to the Garden Center next year, and I’m SO excited about them! I’m not quite ready to share all the details just yet, but there are some fun things in the works. Stay tuned!

Thank you for being part of this season and for supporting my little corner of the gardening world. I truly appreciate every one of you!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I’m ready to trade some of those long days for a little rest. 😉🌿

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

❤️ -Erika

🍁Another fall changeout in the works. Now let’s be done with the rain and enjoy some crisp, fresh air and beautiful weather. ❤️

Don’t be too harsh on me with the transition clips. I’m an old gal trying to learn hip new things. 🤣🤣😉

Apparently a rainy day in September is all it takes for me to start thinking CHRISTMAS. 😂🎄

The ribbons are out, the planning has started, and I'm officially getting ready for winter porch pot season!

I know we haven't even made it through fall yet, but half the fun is looking forward to what's coming. Sooooo...here I am, talking Christmas while the rain comes down outside. 😉

I'm opening up reservations now for our winter porch pot deliveries!

A little reminder about how these work — I don't reopen the garden center for the winter season. These are preordered, custom made, and delivered right to you the weekend after Thanksgiving.

🎄 You get to choose your color scheme
🎄 Each pot is made especially for your order
🎄 We deliver it right to your home or business storefront
🎄 And they make a pretty great gift for someone you love, too!

Getting on the list early also really helps me plan — especially since you get to choose your colors. It gives me time to make sure I have the ribbons, ornaments and all the little details so they are just right!

And if you're wondering what they look like, I've added a few pictures of some of our porch pots from last year for a little Christmas inspiration. ❤️

If you'd like information about reserving yours, comment CHRISTMAS below and I'll send you the details!

No pressure. No Christmas music playing in September. 😂

Just a girl standing in a pile of ribbon getting really excited about what's coming next. 🎄❤️

As the temperatures start to drop and the rainy, dreary days of fall settle in, some flowers start to lose their luster.

And then there are SunPatiens. 🌸

These girls just keep showing up until the frost says otherwise.

And my fall-and-flower-loving soul LOVES them for it. ❤️

When it’s been rainy and gloomy for what feels like weeks, I can open my blinds and see a beautiful wave of color still blooming away outside. And honestly? It makes my heart so happy.

Can you tell I love them… more than I hate them? 😂🌿🌸

Because yes, we’ve had our moments. But when they’re still putting on a show this late in the season, I’m willing to forgive a lot. 😉

The WAY you water matters, and it’s so important for those beautiful mums!

All this rain… and I’m still open. 😂🌧️

So just a reminder: rain doesn’t mean the garden center is closed! I’ll be at the office during regular hours. If you want to shop, stop in—I’ll happily come out from my dry hideout in the building and help you, rain gear or not! 😉

🌿 Hours:
Monday - Saturday 10-4
Sunday - 12-4

The rain has been a major pain,but look who’s back—SUNSHINE again! ☀️And wouldn’t you know, the timing is right—the mums...

The rain has been a major pain,
but look who’s back—SUNSHINE again! ☀️

And wouldn’t you know, the timing is right—
the mums are just starting to show their color bright! 🌸

So while it’s sunny, dry and fine,
come grab your mums while the timing’s divine. 😉

Mums + fall planters are ready, and today and tomorrow are looking like the perfect days to come out!

Because we all know… the rain is probably coming back. 🌧️🥸

Open 10-4!
