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!

Newest Artists in the Shop!

Join me in welcoming Taming Windigo, Plant Blessed Macrame, Britt Vasina, and Naty’s Candles!

We will be featuring each of these artists and their products on our Social Media in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

We are on the way to becoming a well-rounded gift and plant shop.

Quick Animal Update

Egg production from the Hens has dramatically decreased the last few weeks. We lost one of our best layers to a raccoon and at least 3 of the gals are molting. 

The hen pictured is Henneth Paltrow. She was getting her feet cleaned off after a big rainstorm in this picture.

Butte the rabbit is loving the cooler weather. We’ve begun to build her winter shelter space to keep her protected this winter but for now, she is LOVING her tunnel… which I bought for $4 at Retails Thrift Shop. 

See you all soon at the Shop!

Chicken Planning for 2022

We are looking at what number of little chicks we will be raising this year… With that, we are gauging interest in what we should be offering you all… Anyone looking to add chickens to their life, but don’t want to raise them through the chick age? Want a steady supply of eggs? Looking for chicken to stock in your freezer? Let us know how we can help your family!  

We thank you all for your continued support of our plant-y mission! Making plants accessible to all who want to learn.

Until next time,
