Getting Potted

Posted in Elegant Gifts, Gallery Shopping, Garden Decor, Gardening, Home Decor, Modern Marvels, Original Designs, Unique Items at 3:54 am by Deb Savvy

It’s still a bit too early in the season to do much outdoor gardening other than clean-up, but it’s not too soon at all to get some beautiful containers planted and ready to enjoy once the weather improves.

I’m absolutely enamored with these eden planters I found over at Chiasso.

The larger one is $98; the smaller sells for $68.

Check them out at Chiasso, along with a lot more beautiful decorative pieces for the garden, elegant gifts for any occasion and exquisite modern furniture as well.

It’s always a battle – the gardener versus the creatures enjoying the garden. On the one hand, those pesty critters are a good sign, nature’s indication that your garden is healthy and a place that pests find inviting. On the other hand – they’re pests. Ick! And getting rid of them can be such a battle. And there are so few non-toxic eco-friendly options at the local garden center.

Horticultural Therapy

Posted in Gardening, Living Gifts, Plants at 2:53 am by Deb Savvy

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.

And One More Thing About Fall

Posted in Cleaning, Gardening, Housekeeping, Organizing, Shopping Tips, Storage at 3:35 am by Deb Savvy

It’s time for yard and garden clean-up!  And it seems like raking the leaves is just the beginning.  Pruning, mulching, feeding.  Plants to re-pot for a winter indoors.  And all those things that won’t be used until spring need to be cleaned and stored away in the garage or basement.  I’m exhausted just thinking about it and of course, there’s the supplies. From leaf shredders, blowers and burlap wraps to garage organization and storage solutions. Gardener’s Supply has all the supplies, tools and timesaving solutions you could possibly need for the annual ritual. And to honor the fall clean up season – they’ve even issued a 10% off coupon. I must admit that saving on the supplies does make the official end of my gardening season a bit easier to swallow.

The Perfect Edgers

Posted in Coupon Codes, Garden Decor, Gardening, Outdoor Decor at 4:50 am by Deb Savvy

I’ve been shopping for garden edgers and just couldn’t find the perfect thing.  Stone edgers would be too much of a production in terms of installation and would be just too heavy for this flower bed.  That fake white picket fence stuff wasn’t working for me either.  Today I found the perfect solution. 

 

Set/3 black & green glass edgers

Classic garden accents…touched with a little something extra! Black, weather-resistant metal edgers are complemented with 3 gorgeous, recycled green-glass insets with floral bas-relief. Deep stakes for stability. Set of 3 edgers. Each edger is 20×15″H — set of 3 creates 5 feet of edging and sells for $24.98. It doesn’t stop with edgers, either. They’ve got a terrific selection of outdoor decor, gardening gear and patio furniture. Everything you need to create your own great outdoors.

The Upside to Procrastination

Posted in Clearance Sales, Gardening, Plants at 4:14 am by Deb Savvy

Fall Bulbs

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!

Shop at Brecks.com for $25 off your order of $50 or more! Save $25 $10 off $30

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!

Lillian Vernon Online 

It was a PERFECT day here in Chicago.  Warm and sunny and beautiful.  AND a reminder of how much more there is to be done in the garden.  Now that the clean up is behind me, I’m adding some perennials here and there and turning my attention to my containers and furniture and other decorative items.  Like most gardeners, whenever the weather allows, I use my garden as another room of my house – a place to relax, a place to work, a place to eat and a place to entertain.  And every year it seems I need something new – whether it’s containers or storage or seating or a water feature….  If you’re a gardener then you know exactly what I mean.  And if you’re shopping….Find your outdoor essentials at LillianVernon.com They’ve got a great selection of garden gear, planters, lighting, patio furniture, decor and more.  You’ll be impressed with the quality, selection and value.  They’ve got everything you need to create your own personal oasis.

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.
