We have some lovely pots that have been slapped with a 50% off sticker – bargain time if you are in need of a great container!  I took a few pics, but there’s likely to be more.  Come check them out!

  ** THIS ITEM HAS SOLD!  **  From time to time, we have items here at the store that we are ready to turn over — display items, or merchandise that hasn’t moved.  We have just posted on Craigslist a wrought iron garden arbor that has been a display here for a couple of years.  It is about 9-10 feet square and similarly tall.   It is in good condition, and disassembles for easy transport.

This is the arbor we had hops growing over last year, and was it beautiful!   A great place to install a small bistro table and a couple of chairs, for morning coffee or evening glass of wine!

This item retailed for $2000 when new – we have it marked at $599.  Such. A. Deal.

Call if you’re interested!  This won’t last long.

We’ve got lots going on around the store this winter – I’ll write more about that another time!  But all the changes we are making require us to clear out some of our remaining stock.  This week we reduced the price of all our hardy fuchsias to 60%off.  And if you couple that with our canned food drive – bring in five cans or non-perishable packages of food for the Oregon Food Bank -you will receive an additional 20% off.  They won’t last long, and the selection is still good!  Get them in the ground now, and you’ll have fantastic color all through next summer.

Going fast at this price:  50% off all Halloween decor.  Bring in 5 cans of food for our annual food drive, and receive an ADDITIONAL 20% off.  Such a deal!

As you may know, our roses have been on sale (60% off!), as we clean out this year’s inventory to make way for next year.   As we winnow down our rose stock, we’ve found several Cape Diamond shrub roses that haven’t found homes yet.  I don’t know why these have been overlooked, because they have so much going for them — they are very disease-resistant – no worries about black spot, powdery mildew, rust & downy mildew.  They have a great old-fashioned spicy fragrance, and can be trained as a large spreading shrub, or encouraged to climb upwards.

And who knew that roses could have such brilliant fall colors?  You should see them today – blazing color.  I don’t remember ever seeing such a vibrant shrub rose at this time of year.  If your garden has room for one more no-fuss rose, think about adding a Cape Diamond to your landscape.  We only have 10 or so left, and at $8, such a bargain.

**Update 11/12/09 – Most of these plants are gone, but we still have many wonderful plants in our sale area!**

**Update 09/20/09 -  These plants are disappearing quickly, so don’t miss out on the fantastic deals!**

Fall planting season is upon us, and to help you in your planting endeavors, we have some outstanding deals on overstock field grown plants!  Fall is also the season when we clean out some of our overstock, and we have found some groups of plants that need to find good homes.  Our current super deals include a few varieties of Pines, Blue Spruce, and others.  These are large field grown (balled and burlapped) plants that will establish quickly and have an instant effect in the landscape.  These are going for 60%-90% off of our regular retail prices (most only $10-$20), and supplies are limited, so stop by early for the best selection!

The 2009 Green Thumb Sale is over, but will be back next summer!  In the meantime, be sure to check out all of the other specials we currently have here on our blog!

As we cool down a bit and leave the smoldering temperatures of the past week behind us, we would like to let you know that we have decided to extend our Annual Green Thumb sale by an extra week!

Many people were simply not able to make it out due to the extreme weather, and we ended up closing early on a few days earlier in the week for the safety of our employees and guests, so not everyone was able to take advantage of the sale prices.

The official end date for the 2009 Green thumb Sale will now be Sunday, August 9th.  We still have lots of sale items in stock, but some items are running low and may be gone before the end of the sale, so shop early for the best selection!

Also, be sure to keep a close eye on your plants and their watering.  The extreme heat may be behind us, but even temperatures in the 80’s and 90’s can dry a plant out quickly!

Thursday, July 23rd marks the beginning of our 16th Annual Green Thumb Sale!  Our biggest sale of the year only lasts for 2 weeks, but the deals are amazing, and the prices are never lower.  This year’s sale is the biggest ever, and a majority of things in the store are on sale during the event.  You can download a complete sale list here. Remember though, this sale ends August 2nd, and some items may sell out quickly at these ridiculously low prices.  Shop early, and check back often as more items will probably be put on sale as the sale progresses!

The 2009 Green Thumb Sale is over, but will be back next summer!  In the meantime, be sure to check out all of the other specials we currently have here on our blog!
