Late summer/ early fall is the best time to re-pot those overgrown, root bound plants.  Warm weather and summer sunshine really give your plants a much needed growth spurt; but to take full advantage of all that summer growth, your plants need "new digs"!!  We have great containers as well as a selection of hand made red stone pots & vintage terra cotta from Italy.  Bring in your plants and let us do it for you.   We will put your "babies" in a new home,  shine the leaves,  fertilize them , and in some cases give them  a new lease on life.  (You "brown thumbs" know who you are)
Come by the shop at 6th & Bloomfield and let the flower husbands take care of all your "green needs."

Caring for your cut flowers. 1.

Here is a cut flower preservative we use and you can make at home:
1 teaspoon sugar
1 Teaspoon bleach
2 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
1 qt. lukewarm water


And don't forget:
1. Cut the flowers at a 45 degree angle
2.  Use lukewarm water ( unless it a bulb flower than cold water should be used)
3. Have water with your preservative ready so flowers can be placed in water quickly after fresh cut
4. Strip all foliage below the water level
