 Dear Friends,
We are in the midst of doing inventory and resetting the store for spring!! I'm so excited to be working on this new season. Our greenhouse has been redesigned and restocked, and you should see our NEW mini gardening area. It is Fantastic!! Working on these mini gardens is therapy for Spring Fever! Enjoy the "Bird" and "Houseplant" of the week below and stop in to see us.
Our event committee is meeting this week to set a fun year of events, workshops, education and more. Stayed tuned as you will begin to hear about these very shortly!

American Goldfinch
Basics: The American Goldfinch is also known as the "Yellow finch" and can be identified by it's bright yellow coloring, nicely trimmed in black. These birds are a social flock that travel usually in large numbers. The bright coloring is most evident in early spring, as their winter color is a very dull version of the above.
Housing: Most yellow finches will not nest in a bird house, but may use a basket-style house with a fairly open top as a base for building a nest. They will sometimes also use a regular birdhouse for temporary shelter.
Food: Finches like smaller seeds such as aster, sunflower, dandelion and especially thistle.
How to attract: The easiest way to attract these birds is with a mesh bag feeder or a nyjer tube feeder full of Niger Thistle Seeds.
Fact: A group of these birds are called a charm of goldfinches. Primarily, this species is monogamous.
Tip: If you want to see a spectacular show, place a good amount of seed out before a storm rolls in. American Goldfinches will go into a feeding frenzy when they sense the weather is about to get bad.

 Philodendron Most Philodendrons are vine type houseplants that clamber in trees in their native habitat, thus, the common name - which translates as "tree lover." They grow well in most indoor lighting conditions at normal room temperature, or slightly warmer. Heart-leaf philodendron is one of the most popular and best foliage plants available and is often utilized for potted plants. These plants are a workhorse for removing all kinds of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Philodendrons are particularly good at battling formaldehyde from sources like particleboard. So besides being good for the indoors, this species comes in many different popular varieties. We carry many of them and invite you in to see what we have to offer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
