Coupons for garden merchants at Coupon Chief

by

Did you know that CouponChief.com lists a number of well known stores – more than 1000 I believe, where you can find coupon codes to use at the many stores listed in their directory to save money on anything from the product itself, a percentage discount on your purchase or even for free shipping?

Browsing the CouponChief site earlier today I was pleased to discover that they have a few gardening related merchants listed.

I found listings for Spring Hill Nursery coupon deals that would give you $25 off purchases off $50 or more, and I also found a deal for Spring Hill Nursery’s one cent sale.

Among the other garden related merchants I found a deal for $20 off purchases of $50 or more using a Michigan Bulb coupon. There are several other home and garden related merchants listed at Coupon Chief.

I didn’t go through all of the garden related merchants to find out what deals they are offering. However, if the two that I’ve told you about are any indication you might want to scoot over there and check out the deals on your own if you are thinking of buying some gardening products now that Spring has arrived and the gardening season is just about ready to start up again.






I missed Canada Blooms

by

Can you believe that I missed the biggest Horticultural event in Canada?

The “Canada Blooms” garden show happens every year in Toronto’s Convention center. It’s so big that if you really want to see all of the different landscapes that the show creators have put together, and stop at every single booth you need at least two days to see the show. Not to mention the fact that you could also attend speeches by TV gardening show celebs, master gardeners, and book authors.


You know when the show was? It was last weekend – March 7th through the 11th.

I had been keeping my eye out for news of the show but I guess I got too busy and forgot about it just when I should have been paying closer attention.

If I’d managed to attend the show I would have brought my camera so I could show you just how large the show really is. I would have also been able to show you through photos some of the new trends in gardening that are expected to be big hits this year.

I bet I would have had a whole week of articles to write about the show.

Ok, well, if you are still reading this blog next February can you remind me to go to the show next year? Believe me, with the wealth of information that I’d get at the show it’d be in your best interest to remind me to attend so that I can pass all that great info on to you, my regular readers.

Florapedia – ProFlowers new flower guide

by

Can you believe that today is the first full day of Spring? Time certainly flies doesn’t it? Before long it will be Easter and then Mother’s day right after that!

I don’t know about you, but my garden is only just beginning to wake up. I certainly won’t have flowers growing by Easter, and they’ll only just be starting to bud when Mother’s day arrives.

Having said that, I have bookmarked a great site called ProFlowers. They specialize in flower & plant delivery, and have quite a nice assortment of bouquets, plants, planted baskets and even gourmet gifts. They even offer International delivery.

There’s one special feature of the ProFlowers site that I think many of you will enjoy. It’s their new flower guide. It’s called Florapedia. The Florapedia has great information about choosing the right kind of flower for a particular occasion, care and tips, Floral factoids, and decorating tips and ideas. This is a great added bonus to the site, and I’m certain you’ll learn something new in the Florapedia.

So keep Proflowers in mind the next time you need to send someone a special occasion gift, and remember to take a peek at the Florapedia too.
