Eternally Green
Here’s a way to bring some everlasting spring green to your winter days. Even if you’ve got a ‘black thumb’. No watering or daylight required. No, I’m not suggesting you fill your home with plastic plants. Hardly. Yuck! No, I’m suggesting something completely natural and unique – a Fresh Topiary.
Ivy, angel vine, boxwood, cypress, rosemary and many more. Live and preserved topiaries. Each a work of art. Free shipping on all orders.
The gift of a natural topiary is a great way to say thank you – especially for someone who hosted you at their vacation home. It’s an evergreen remembrance of your visit and and your gratitude. Because a natural topiary requires no maintenance at all it’s perfect for a home that’s frequently unoccupied.

The Upside to Procrastination
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!
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!

Plants with Panache
Plants with panache. And fancy fruit. That’s their life over at Fancy Plants Farms. From the highest quality lovingly grown caladiums (a terrific plant for gifting, by the way) to the freshest Florida citrus and persimmons and homemade persimmon preserves and purrees. YUM! Perfect for gifting – or for treating yourself!

For Beauty Everlasting….
The only down side to sending flowers on Mother’s Day (or any other day, for that matter) is that you know that in less than two weeks your thoughtful, beautiful and (most likely) expensive gift is but a fond memory. If you’re looking for something of the same order that will last just a bit longer, we’ve got a great option for you. Consider the gift of a live topiary from FreshTopiary. Real trees are perfectly preserved at the peak of their beauty. No water. No maintenance. No worries.
All at about the same price as a nice floral arrangement.

Tomato Talk
There’s nothing like the taste of a just picked tomato. Bursting with flavor and freshness. Nothing like the flavorless watery tomotoes from the supermarket. Even in a big city, perfect tomatoes can be hard to find. But they aren’t that hard to grow. Especially when you start with the fabulous NY Times endorsed organic heirloom tomato plants. 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.
Tomatoes are a perfect choice for urbanites as the plants are well suited to container gardening.

Perfect Plants from an Unexpected Source
Some of the most beautiful gifts I have ever received were from The Red Envelope. Always elegant. Always impeccably presented. Plants from The Red Envelope are no exception. They’ve got quite a selection, including herb gardens (starting under $30), mini-roses (under $40), paperwhite narcissus (under $35), unbelievably beautiful shooting star hydrangeas ($50) and many others. All are plants of superior quality; all are beautifully planted in an elegant container selected to specifically complement the plant itself.
For more serious gifting, they even have a plant of the month club. Gift memberships of three months ($140), six months ($250) or a full year ($450) are available. Check it out. These are not the same plants you’ll find anywhere else.

Evergreen
Here’s a delightful alternative to a floral arrangement or potted plant, particularly if you know the recipient has a ‘black thumb’. How about a fresh live preserved topiary? It stays green and perfect forever. No watering required.
A topiary can bring a splash of color to any room. I have tons of plants in my house but in certain spots nothing will flourish. And nothing looks worse than a dying plant. No more. A fresh preserved live topairy lives on forever.
