Hi, I'm Trish here at Trish's Garden Center and Flower shop...celebrating the last hues of Summer. We've been blessed with lovely temps and sunshine here in Chicago...but nights are getting cooler and next week will be pumpkins time for sure.

Right now we have loads of fresh flowers for arrangements, and plants for refreshing your gardens and pots.

We always have accessories, tools and even birdbaths. Hardy succulents are perfect for Fall displays.

The greenhouse is full of fresh plants, and even some fall veggie starts, how about some decorative Kale to fill in your pots.

Succulents and grasses are perfect for refreshing your planters.

Garden accessoires, statuary, birdbaths, rocks for paths...we have a great selection.

Our frogponds were especially great sellers and a new shipment just arrived.

Don't forget to refresh you herbs, repot with fresh soil to bring inside when frost finally begins.

It's almost time to pack away the flamingoes and beach boy gnomes.

Don't forget to generously water everything this time of year to keep your perennial roots hardy and healthy for the winter. Even grasses, trees and bushes need to store water for the winter.

We have loads of pots for moving your special plants indoors.

Trish: Phew, it sure was insane yesterday. Thanks for all your help Cam! I have a few orders to fill, can you hold down the fort out here?


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Cam: Sure, Trish...sun is shining even. Ted said he would be here at 1:00 with some refills. We need medium pots and more dirt + plants. We have a few holes in the six-pack rack! 


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: I know I have four planter orders I will need to work on later.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

They were good sellers this weekend.
