✨WOW. What a day.✨
We are still smiling after Saturday’s Winter Market! Hundreds of you came out to shop, snack, laugh, and soak up all the warm greenhouse vibes! THANK YOU to everyone who attended, and a huge shoutout to the incredible vendors who helped make this something so special! 💚
Because the response was so amazing…we’re doing ONE LAST Winter Market before we flip the greenhouse for spring! 🌱
Join us Saturday, Feb. 21st from 9am-3pm. We’ll have some new vendors, more food, and a really BIG surprise we will be announcing soon! 😎
Yes, it’s brutally cold outside. No, that doesn’t apply inside our greenhouse! 🔥🪴
Our Winter Market is happening TOMORROW inside the warm, cozy greenhouse - no icy surprises included (sorry, Jimmy). ❄️ So skip the cold weather blues, grab yourself a hot coffee from @faithfulandtruebrew , and come hang out with us in the greenhouse from 9am-3pm!
🥶You may have heard talk about “exploding trees” as frigid temperatures move in — but here’s the real science behind those dramatic sounds:
⚠️When temperatures plunge rapidly well below freezing, the water and sap inside a tree’s trunk and branches can freeze and expand. That sudden expansion, combined with the outer bark cooling and contracting faster than the inner wood, can build up internal pressure. When the stress gets too great, the bark or wood can crack or split suddenly, sometimes with a loud “bang” that sounds like an explosion.
🌳💥This is most common during rapid temperature drops, subzero air settling in, and calm-bitterly cold nights.
🌳💥This can cause harm to both healthy and weakened trees.
🌳💥This can create dangerous conditions - avoid parking under large trees and be alert when walking outside.
❄️Stay warm and stay safe!
We are only a few days away! Yes, the forecast looks pretty cold - but the Greenhouse forecast is warm, cozy, and thriving! 🌿

✨ Over 25 local vendors
🌱 New houseplants 20% OFF

January is National Houseplant Month - and for good reason! 🌿After the holidays over, and the Christmas trees are gone, life can feel a little… blah. 😔 Enter houseplants! Not only can they bring your house back to life and combat those winter blues, but they also offer many health benefits like purifying the air, increase humidity, and reduce stress!
So join us tomorrow (Saturday, January 10th) from 12pm-3pm as we open the store for special hours just to celebrate these living companions! All houseplants will be 25% off for one day only.
