Hello Friends –
Ok, you last-minute shoppers. There’s not much time left. If you haven’t found the perfect thing for everyone on your list we think we can help. And if you can’t make it by the store, we’ve got some great things in our web shop ready to ship. Order by this Wednesday, December 16, and your gifts should arrive by the 25th. And for you really later shoppers, our after-Christmas sale will begin at 8am on Christmas Eve.
We will be open this year between Christmas and New Year's Day. Our holiday hours are at the bottom of this newsletter.
It is a great time of year in the garden, if you can bear the cold and wet. This gorgeous Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon' is in spectacular bloom and in stock now.
Gift certificates available online – easy!
You still remember the first time you visited our store, don’t you? Give that magical experience as a gift! Our gift certificates are available in our web shop to make your life easy. The gift certificate itself is a tactile experience. It is printed on real wood and comes in a pretty brown envelope.
Grape wood tillandsia garden
Even the guy who has everything doesn’t have one of these! An easy and beautiful gift, they are available in the store or in the web shop. Equally at home on the tabletop or hanging on the wall, a tillandsia garden adds an exotic natural touch to any room.
Our December Bouquet
The Cutting Garden is offering a gorgeous December Bouquet available for pick up or delivery. The rich colors in our December Bouquet are a California winter blessing. When the rain begins, many proteas, banksias, and grevilleas burst into bloom. What could be sweeter than the colors of our own Bay Area winter gardens, a refreshing change from hot-house grown poinsettias?
Succulent wreaths
We managed to scare up a few more succulent wreaths. We’re sorry to those of you we disappointed when we ran out! Buy online and we will deliver them to you.

Delight with Indoor Outdoor Plants
Sunday, December 20, 2009 10:30am
If you've ever returned home from a trip to a tropical locale and been inspired to try your hand at growing those spectacular warm-climate plants, come join us for this "master class." It's amazing how many special plants you can grow inside the house with a little attention. Plus, if you're willing to do some seasonal moving of containers, lots of tropical and desert beauties will thrive outdoors as garden plants. Our climate-zone-denying specialists Jim Kumiega, Clarke de Mornay, and Jason Dewees will wax defiant about hoyas, monsteras, pachypodiums, howeas, and other goodies we used to think were doomed to obscurity behind the couch.

Fun project in Vogue
We were so delighted to be asked to help with the plant design for Alexis Traina’s conservatory. The house is in Vogue magazine this month, and we think our plants look like supermodels.
