    Funky Birdhouses

    Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

    Potters 192 always has something new and exciting in the giftware area, but these birdhouses just blew us away!  Have you ever seen a big mouth bass birdhouse?  Or how about a tent birdhouse?  You have to see them to believe them.

    Bacopa

    Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

    Almost every day I have somebody approach me and ask, “What are those beautiful white trailing flowers people put in their baskets?” Well the answer is BACOPA. While there are many great basket stuffers you can put in pots or hanging baskets, bacopa has quickly become the #1 selling stuffer in North America. The reasons [...]

    A Horse Is Horse Of Course

    Friday, April 24th, 2009

    We had some extremely large boxes delivered to the 192nd st. store the other day.  Whatever could this be?  No one could have guessed a full size horse figurine!  (Except Gale who orders all these crazy things!)  Along with Filly the horse came 3 crocodiles, 3 dogs, and 4 turtles!  A definite statement for anyone’s [...]

    Geraniums

    Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

    Is there anything better for summer colour than a good ole geranium? Our Potter’s stores always carry LOADS of beautiful geraniums in a variety of colours. They’re hardy, long-lasting and relatively trouble-free. You can understand why they’ve been gardener’s favourites for decades!  

    Glow In The Dark

    Saturday, April 18th, 2009

    Wow, wouldn’t that be neat if we had a glow in the dark plant!  But no, I’m not talking about flora, I’m talking about cool glow in dark mushrooms and butterlfies that we just got in.   Last year we sold out of these right away, so this year we have lots!  Unfortunately we are not [...]

    Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

    (continued from last Tuesday)   6) Once you’ve finished making your moss basket, add the wire hook to get it ready to hang. Make sure you fasten the hook tightly. Pick a sunny spot for your basket (or shady if you’ve used only shade plants) that has a structure available to hang your basket. Appropriate [...]

    Is It Spring Yet?

    Monday, April 13th, 2009

    Is spring ever going to get here? This is the question on everyone’s lips…anyone have the answer? Well, I just brought in my first batch of seed geraniums, basket stuffers and bedding packs. Maybe I am jumping the gun here but if you have a greenhouse why not get a jump on it and stick [...]
