FAQs

I’m desperate to get a garden going but have no idea where to get started. What should I know about my yard before I visit you?

We’re prepared to help no matter how much you know about your yard, so don’t feel like you need to do too much homework. But here are the questions we usually start with: Is your soil sandy or clay-based? Do you live near the beach? How much sun does this area get and at what time of day? How big is the area you want to plant? Knowing the answers to these questions help us determine what will work well for your home and skill level.

I just moved here and can’t believe your summer heat! What are some recommendations for hardy and heat-tolerant plants?

We recommend you take a look at Vinca and Penta – both annuals, and Lantana, which is a perennial. Once it gets cooler, you should think about pansies, snapdragons, violas, and stock, which are all annuals.

I’m working on my green thumb, but my front door has the blues. What can I do?

One of the most welcoming sights after a long day is a friendly front door. Snap a photo of your doorstep and our horticulturists can help you choose a decorative pot in a size that fits your entryway and then find plants to fill it based on sunlight and your level of commitment. Goodbye, boring door. Hello, happy home.

I need a hostess gift, stat! Can you help?

Of course we can! We think orchids, houseplants or petite containers make wonderful, affordable, and thoughtful gifts. We always have a few options in stock and can help you choose something in your price range and get it gift-ready. Swing by on your way to the festivities and we’ll make sure you’re the best guest.
