Rated Best Value for Flowers by Wall Street Journal

Wondering who was recently rated the best overall value for flowers by the Wall Street Journal. You won’t be surprised. I wasn’t.

It was ProFlowers.com. Like I said, no big surprise. They deliver fresh, fresh, fresh flowers for some of the best prices around. I’m a big fan of their bulk bouquets, but I must admit that their arrangements and potted plants are pretty spectacular, too.

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 .
