Denise Shreeve:
Sat., March 19, 11am - 4pm
 | | Native Bee Houses |
Denise Shreeve (we like to call her the Bee Lady) was such a big hit last spring that we invited her back for the new gardening season. She's a passionate advocate for native flora & fauna that often have to fight for their rightful place in their natural habitats. She'll be here to answer your questions & make you a convert.
Denise's specially designed, locally crafted native bee houses encourage these super-pollinators to nest in your yard. No worries: native bees don't sting & don't produce honey, making them excellent, low maintenance residents.
The houses are in stock now.

Tasha McKelvey
Irresistible Charm
Tasha McKelvey's adorable ceramic pots & jewelry are just the thing to lift our spirits & remind us that yes, spring will come again. Her mission is to make home objects feel personal again by adding an artist's touch & a bit of cheer to every piece she makes. Don't be fooled - her work looks whimsical, but it's practical too: all pieces are microwave, oven & dishwasher safe. However, these little bowls happily leave the kitchen to provide a spot to hold your favorite earrings, spare change or paper clips.
