July – Date to be Announced
New Terrariums Workshop at a New Location!
New Cidery in Stafford Springs, CT
Hop on over to www.WORKSHOPSCT.com to learn more, or check out their website. We will be offering another fun filled terrariums workshop. Details to be announced very soon. Stay tuned.

New Plant Arrivals
Thank you to all visiting me at the new shop where I have my plant showcases (address below), plant gifts, seeds, birdhouses, fertilizer, and garden decor for sale.

This week, we have new arrivals for plants – see WorkshopsCT.com for the newly posted feature – ferns, garden signs, and succulents continue. I am there every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am to 6 pm, and the shop is open every day of the week too.

It is a great place to pick up a book if you are an avid reader – I have met many there, as well as authors – it has been rewarding to meet the various people there – and new gardening plant lovin’ friends.

Seeds – It is not too late to sow!
You still may sow many types of seeds, which we have quality, 100% Certified Organic seeds in stock at the shop right now. With this cool weather, maybe being a little late sowing will work out because the damp soil may rot tender seedlings if you put them in already and still need more to replace any – Consider our seeds by Hudson Valley Seed Co. See http://www.WorkshopsCT.com for more details.

Address: 869 Sullivan Avenue, South Windsor, CT in BOOK CLUB Bookstore & More. The plaza also has a pet store, chiropractors offices, nail salon, exercise place, and United Bank. Look for the plaza adjacent which has a Dunkin’ Donuts and Red Onion Pizza restaurant.

First Day of Summer
Is it true? Summer is coming? It better. This darn cold damp weather – We all want sun. The first day of summer is June 21st, only 2 days after Father’s Day on June 18th, it will be here before you know it.  We have had cool temps, lots of rain, and less warmth but I have faith it is coming – Be prepared, get your plants now if you haven’t already.

One big benefit of this cool spring, however, is my perennials outdoors are outstanding – the bugs haven’t been as prevalent, and the flowers are just gorgeous – but summer IS coming – Get your planted gifts, seeds, and decor from Container Crazy CT while supplies last – Many of our planted gifts are perfect for indoors too – consider them as a gift for Dad’s office or for birthdays, special occasions, graduations, etc – We offer Gift Certificates as well.

Happy first Monday of June everyone!
