Get ready for Holiday Plants!

Don't delay on your holiday plant orders. Our baby girl is expected soon and we want to ensure we have you taken care of.

Have a special request for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any of the holidays in between?

Please contact us right away to get to planning.

Once our baby girl arrives, our time will become much more precious and we’d hate to let you down! 

Be sure to check our google maps hours before heading over. We will update there if we are closed unexpectedly. 

Plant Shop hours for the remainder of the year: 

Friday and Saturday’s 1pm-6pm

Always accepting special orders. 

We deliver around Vancouver, and welcome order pick-up’s any day of the week.

Special Hours for November given baby hasn’t arrived:

Thanksgiving 11/24: 9am-2pm

(Grab last minute hostess gifts, floral arrangements, or the last of the succulent pumpkin arrangements!)

Friday 11/25 and Saturday 11/26: 11am-6pm

CLOSED: 12/2 and 12/3 (Expected Arrival Week of Baby)

Pumpkin Succulent Arrangements are available until Thanksgiving

Let our fabulous pumpkin arrangements adorn your table for Thanksgiving or any gathering. Nothing screams Fall more like a pumpkin and nothing screams perfect gift like a fancy pumpkin. 

We typically need two days turn around time for any pumpkin orders. Supply of pumpkins are becoming more limited, so please do not delay on ordering if you want one or many to give as gifts or to dress-up your table this year.

Note: We are out of stock on medium-sized pumpkins.

Let Suburban Succulents deck your halls this Christmas!

We’ve got the hook-up on Poinsettia’s- grown locally in Oregon. 

Various colors are available this year, however, we will be keeping a limited stock available in the shop and mainly ordering off your special orders.

Don’t know how many you’ll need? Reach out and we’ll help you figure it out. 

 

Orders do not need to be picked up/delivered when placed. Let us know when you’d like your plants and we will accommodate. Most times, clients wait until after Thanksgiving to begin staging their poinsettia’s.

We also have various-sized wreaths available this year! 

Send us an email to order for your home or business! More details are available if desired. 🙂

Holiday gifting with plants and non-living Items.

tillandsia_pine_centerpiece

If you’ll recall last year, we made this great holiday guide for you all. In it we highlighted the spectacular local makers we work with at the shop… Well, we have run out of time to do that this year with our preparing for baby, but not to fear- we will still be a one-stop-shop for your locally-made gifting needs! 

We have lots of pots, candles, soaps, plant supplies, and other nifty-gifties available as of now and will be adding more in the next couple weeks. We won’t be restocking on any holiday items, so get them early.

We try our darnedest to keep our Doordash page up to date with new and exciting items that come into the shop, from seasonal floral arrangements to gift sets. We also have a small listing of locally made soaps and candles among other little add-ons.

Christmas items will be added right after Thanksgiving!

Need to send a gift to someone local or want something last minute for a hostess gift? We’ve got you covered. Delivery typically in an hour’s time!

We want to thank everyone in our Community for ALL the support we have received this year, whether it’s through your special orders, Doordash, coming into the shop, plant maintenance clients, or in general providing me support with the new baby. We are grateful to serve our community with your plant-y needs and lend a listening ear when your plants act-up. We are truly thankful for another successful year. Cheers to another great year of plant growing and surviving the ups and downs that inevitably will happen.  ~Adriane and Brett

How’s it already the end of Summer 2022… Plant Shop Updates!

Big News for the Shop!

It’s been quite a while since our last blog post… Owners Adriane and Brett are expecting a baby girl to join the family in late November! With this, there will be some changes coming up with our shop hours and availability. Starting in October, we will no longer be open on Sundays- except by appointment- Brett and I want to ensure we have quality time to spend together before the arrival of our baby, and this change allows for us to do so.

In order to make the holiday gift-giving season feasible for us to handle with the arrival of our little one, we have been busy working on a well built-out menu of plants and goods on our website, as well as making Doordash, and Grubhub a place filled with awesome plant and non-plant goodies. We hope you’ll consider us this holiday season when looking for gifts for yourself, friends, and family near and far! 

September Plant Classes are Live!

Locations:

Due to time constraints, we are at two locations only this month. If you’re interested in attending, be sure to sign-up early to ensure space in the classes as seats are limited!

Literary Leftovers in Battleground, WA: 9/14 anytime from 4-6pm

Pepper Bridge Winery/Amavi Cellars at The Vancouver Waterfront: 9/15 at 6:30pm.

Click here or on the photo above to sign-up for classes! 

Class Deets:

This month we are planting our own living desktop cactus gardens. These prickly displays look great on a desk or tabletop in a bright window, or really any spot that gets a lot of light. May we suggest west or south facing areas, or using grow lights to make these babe’s grow out their best life!?

What’s included: Our class includes a selection of 3 cacti, a ceramic dish to plant into, freshly made soil by Suburban Succulents, full instructions for caring for your new cactus display pieces, and a good time out at your favorite locations around Clark County! Come for the experience, stay for the fun and new plant memories.

Shop Closed September 8-11

We’ve been members of the Cascade Cactus and Succulent Society for nearly 4 years already! This year, I am volunteering to organize the sellers for their yearly fundraiser sale happening in a couple weeks. See below for all the information about the Odd Plant Sale.

I will be up in Seattle for most of the week of 9/5 in order to prep and welcome the sellers to the event. With that, we will be closed from 9/8-9/11. 

We resume normal shop hours on Thursday 9/15.

Seattle Cactus and Succulent Show- September 10+11

Want to hang out with a bunch of succulent and cactus enthusiasts and add some amazing plants to your collection? Head up to The Odd Plant Sale for this free event located at The Volunteer Park Conservatory in Seattle.

This event is a shared program with The Cascade Cactus and Succulent Society and The Friends of the Conservatory… both are holding sales, so there will be 1000’s of interesting plants to select from!

 
Lines are expected, so arrive early for best selection and less wait!
 
Volunteer Park Conservatory is located at:
1400 E Galer St, Seattle, WA 98112
 

We are so appreciative of this communities support of our growing small business so far! We thank each of you deeply for continuing to follow our dreams and coming through to either purchase houseplants or garden-fresh goods or just in general join us on our journey. 

Thank you for being here and watch for more updates coming soon!

It’s lookin’ like Fall at Suburban Succulents

Are you preparing your plants for Fall yet?

Have you thought about your plant plan for the impending colder weather and shorter days? Time to clean, fertilize, move/cover/protect tender plants, & prune/trim for all the plants!

Stop in the shop and see what we are doing to prep for the rainy fall and cold winter months ahead. 

Need help with your winter plant preparations? We can help- we dig the dirty plant work! Your place or ours, count on Suburban Succulents to send your plants into Fall refreshed and ready to cozy up with you in the winter months.  

All of our Sting of Pearls will come inside at the sign of the first frost.

NEW VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: Alta Andina

We are excited to welcome David of Alta Andina and his vegetable-tanned leather plant hangers to the Shop. Stop in to see them in person or shop on our website! We plan to bring more items in for the holidays, like valet trays, to add to our growing lineup of home goods. 

We know, it’s not the holiday times, yet… but we have started preparing. Watch out for our gifting guide hitting your inboxes this winter season!

Need multiple gifts that are $10. We got ’em!

Want to send something locally made? We have plant pots and non-living gifts made by many PNW artists.

We are always searching for new products to add to the shop!

Have a vendor in mind that may be a great fit for Suburban Succulents? Contact us right away! Check out the become a vendor page for more information.

Garden and Farm Updates:

Need eggs? We have fresh eggs available for $5 a dozen.

Meet the chickens:

The chicken in the photo is Egg the Stallion- she’s a dark Brahma. She loves to peck at my toes and all-around just likes to hang out with whoever is near her. She is one of the gals that lets me pick her up nearly every day… and *most of the time* she manages to not poop on me in the process! 🙂 

We have a surplus of cooking herbs, too! 

Want herbs for creating a fresh pasta sauce? Want to make some yummy herb flavored butter to use? How about some herbs for freezing to use later? We have Rosemary, Chives, Basil, Thyme, & Arugula all harvesting now!

If you’re interested in what we have available for sale from our front yard garden, please come by the shop to see the current selection.

With the change of the season’s we will be changing our hours of operations.

Find us open a few less hours per week, but still just as accessible for all your plant-y needs! Contact us should our hours not work with your schedule, we are happy to work with you.

We will be open Friday through Sunday 12-dark.

Still figuring out the rest of the weekdays and holiday schedule. Have suggestions? Let us know!
