Hello!
Our apologies for not keeping you better informed about The Cottage/our seasonal plant sales first held this spring. Time/life (and me forgetting to hit the 'post' button mid-June LOL) got away from us!

We planned to open again for the fall season. Two things stopped us. The steep increase in supplier delivery charges; and, the need found in spring for a bit more infrastructure. Shade structure and drip irrigation. Both not possible at the site.

We spent the summer propogating/growing at our own place around the corner. We have more space, ability to irrigate and provide better cover and a small greenhouse. Next year we hope to offer a larger variety of seasonal plants from our own place.

Many thanks to Sandy Gilliam - and to all of you that came and bought so many plants and accessories from us! It was a success - and more - we have had a blast meeting so many local new friends.

Meantime, we'd love to hear your input on what other events you'd be interested in us organizing there. Message us! We'll be having a sale on garden items to make room for some other event/activities on Orlean Day Saturday Oct 8th from 11-4pm. Stop by on your way to Orlean Market for their big celebration of Orlean or other Saturday trips out. We'd love to see you!

June is National Perennial Month! AND, we're having our 25% season-end plant sale of our native perennials Fri-Sun this week. ! (Fri/Sat 1-5, Sun 12-4)

We'll then be closed for the dog-days of summer/vacations and reopen in mid-August for fall planting season! The virtually infinite possibilities of form, function and beauty that perennials offer make them a valuable asset to every landscape. Scoop up some for sun or shade this weekend!
