Chris — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 00:14:11 +0000

Look up in the sky.. it’s a blurb.. it’s a plate… no it’s TERRACOTTA MAN!!! Come see the magnificent Terracotta Man at Potter’s 72nd and bask in his glory… well, maybe he’s not all that glorious or magnificent but Miss Jessie T loves him all the same. And the employees have taken a real shine to our very own Terracotta Man. I saw Dan W have lunch with him the other day, so it’s nice to see TM fitting in with the rest of the employees. Three jeers for Terracotta Man!

Well, the Haunted House is officially underway at Potter’s 72nd and it’s an exciting time of year. It’s an easy switch to flip your brain from pansies to zombies… heck, they both end in “s”. The big black wall for the haunted house has been constructed and up go the rooms. Soon the decorating crew will set in weaving their magical terror tapestries throughout the haunt. Sound, lights, action!! Spine chills n’ screams, here we come!!!

Crusher Dust @ Potter’s 72

If you’re laying down patio tiles or doing some paving, you might need a base material that is easy to level and packs down hard beneath your finished product. Luckily Potter’s on 72nd Ave has a high quality crusher dust that fills your very need. We sell all our bulk products by a Bobcat scoop (just over a half yard) or by the bag. Obviously the best value is buying by the scoop but for those who need just a little bit of material, bagging your own is quick n easy!

Pansies!

Pansy fibre packs are here at all the Potter’s stores, and you know what that means… the pansy onslaught begins! Throughout September and October Potter’s sells almost every colour imaginable of pansy and boy, are they popular. Some people only like the traditional yellow pansies but most like to get a mix of colours. Come check them out, I’m sure we have a hue that will suit your fancy!

BC Camping Plant-Life

Chris — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 15:33:40 +0000

If you’re a born n’ raised BC boy like me, you probably enjoy getting outdoors and camping in the summer. The lakes, the trails, the animals, the campfire, the burnt hotdogs… it’s all pretty magical. If you’re anything like me, you enjoy looking at our native flora while out in the wild. I’m always impressed by the vast varieties of ferns and conifers in our forests. I would always recommend planting a few native plants in your garden since they require little to no care and tend to grow quickly. “No care” is a magical set of words to the typical BC gardener!

Perennial-ville

Boy, if you’re a perennial fan, mid to late summer is your shopping season! Perennials really shine in the summer months and you can find so many plants in full flower right now. There’s also lots of deals to be found, which is great. Look for perennials such as black-eyed susan, crocosmia, lavender and many more that are blooming right now. Come have a look!

Summer Colour

Chris — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:19:41 +0000

Gardener’s in BC can sometimes be a funny crew! So many of us seem to have it in our heads that the only gardening season in the lower mainland is springtime when that’s just not the case! BC has the longest gardening season in all of Canada and there’s wonderful flower colour available all summer long right in to the fall. From larger geraniums to full hanging baskets to mums to pansies, there’s plenty of colour to spruce up your garden. Come check us out in the weeks to come and see what I’m talking about… I think you’ll be surprised at how much flower colour is still available through the hot summer months!!
