Happy February,

We are happy to announce our LEARN-TO-LOVE-FEBRUARY-SALE! Is it wrong to admit that we don't love February? After all, the rain has turned the hillsides green, the bare trees are revealing their stark beauty, the light is wintry and soft — what's not to like?

Well, we do get a little lonely here around the store. Most of you have your minds on other things. You aren't gardening much. You forget about us. And even though we know you will remember us as soon as the warm sun of April shines, we just can't wait that long. So we want to lure you in for a visit...

BIG FEBRUARY SALE
This is our biggest SALE of the year. Here are some of the deals you can find:
 
25% off all garden plants size 2-gallon and bigger
25% off most garden furniture
25% off lots of apparel and accessories
25% off selected pottery

Come on in and get a garden chair for your sunny corner, a multicolored New Zealand flax to catch the light, a new tree for that dead spot, or some pretty things for your empty pots. (Special order plants are not on sale.)
 
Yep, square chairs and bistro tables are on sale!
Perfect for a small space, these French café classics come in tons of fun colors. Buy them at our very best price of the year — 25% off.

Yep, the oil barrel chairs are on sale too.
Made in Africa out of recycled oil barrels, these chairs are comfortable and beautiful — and 25% off.

Inspiration
Here's some inspiration from our friends Buell Steelman and Rebecca Sams at Mosaic Gardens in Eugene, Oregon.
 
I think this garden is spectacular. The plant combinations are remarkable, and yet even with a huge variety of plants the rhythm of the garden is perfect. Just looking at these pictures brings me a sense of peace. Oh, how I would love to have tea in this garden!

Get this look — on SALE!
Look how sophisticated this deck design looks! Those big silver containers are stock tanks, the kind they use on farms. Here they strike a modern pose filled with bamboo. We have our stock tanks on sale now for 25% off. Our bamboo is 25% off, too. If you have a small deck with looming neighbors' windows, this might be just the trick to give your deck some privacy.

Stock tank pond
This stock tank is a pond. So pretty, so easy to maintain, and sure not to leak. And yes, we have our stock tanks on SALE — 25% off.

A tiny place of your own – Stylish Sheds & Elegant Hideaways

Debra Prinzing's book, Stylish Sheds & Elegant Hideaways, has been a top seller here at Flora Grubb Gardens. We are happy that she will be here to talk to us on March 5th.

Today when people build a backyard shed, their use of it may expand far beyond the original intent of potting up seedlings or storing tools. A diminutive piece of architecture in the garden can shelter and nurture any personal passion. Today's shed is no longer hiding in a corner of the backyard. Instead, it has landed a starring role in the landscape. Gardeners are transforming this once-humble structure into a backyard sanctuary — a retreat, just steps from the back door. Come hear Debra's inspiring ideas for your backyard retreat.

Thursday, March 5, 5:30 p.m. at Flora Grubb Gardens
Debra Prinzing, author of Stylish Sheds & Elegant Hideaways
Wine and hors d'oeuvre at 5:30 p.m.
Design Talk and book signing at 6:15 p.m.

Admission:
$25 per person, advance reservations until 2/27
$30 per person, after 2/27 and at the door
Register online or call 415/561-7895 or email wcprog@gardenconservancy.org
