Gardeners Start Your Planting…My take on the Indy 500 race this weekend. It Finally looks like we are out of Frost/Freeze danger for the 2026 season so “Let’s Get Growing”. Here at Showcase we have a HUGE selection of Flowers, Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, Packaged and Bulk Seeds that will get you Started and Over the Finish Line to Take The Checkered Flag. Just about Anything you can Imagine and then some, Everything from Favorite Annuals, Perennials, Specialty to Unique and Exotic. All here at “Your Gardening Headquarters”.

In The Beginning…There was barren land, then it was tilled, filed with seeds and tender starts that grew into Beautiful, Healthy Specimens. Sometimes along their path they encountered challenges that hindered survival and that’s why we also carry an extensive line of products to encourage growth, wart off disease and eliminate pests. If you have any issues be sure and check with our resident “Plant Doctor” (we call him Floyd, among other things) for the right Prescription to solve your problems. Gardening is Natures Way of easing some of the High Prices at the Grocery Store lately, so why not give it a go and "Win That Race"!

Come “Hang” With Us…For Memorial Day we are having a Big Sale on Hanging Baskets. We are letting them go for $19.99 (originally priced at $24.99). We still have quite a selection to choose from along with many other Flower Baskets, Bedding Plants, Urns and Decorative Items to Honor those Brave Service Men and Women who sacrificed their lives for our Country. Sometimes Freedom comes at a Great Cost to those that Defend It for the rest of us. Observe and Commemorate this Historic Occasion with Prayers and Gestures of Dignity and Respect for these Fallen Heroes.
