If you have gotten the same basket for your mom the last 15 years, you know how important it is to secure it early. As more and more people hear about our famous hanging baskets, the quicker we seem to sell out in store! Here are our top 5 reasons you should order your baskets now, and pick up first weekend in May!
#1: You don't have to stress out about your favorite combo being gone when you show up in the spring!
One of the saddest moments in our profession is having to say the words, "I am so sorry, we just sold out of that one." It is horrible, we hate it, and try to do anything we can to avoid having to say it. So save us the heartache of telling you your favorite basket is long gone by the woman who just bought 6 of the same combo...and secure yours online instead! Whew, we feel so much better already!
#2: You can browse our best selling baskets without getting a crick in your neck looking up.
It's always a dead give away when you come into the greenhouse and are looking up...we know exactly what you're looking for! While we enjoy talking to you while looking at the sky, try ordering online! You keep your neck and face at 90 degrees, no sunglasses (or just adjust your computer resolution if you want it to look sunny) and order looking at a computer screen! Click, scroll scroll scroll, click, click... you're done!
#3: You can ask your husband and even kids opinions on which colors go best with your house, we know they will have a lot to offer.
Which combo goes best on brick? What about tan with cream, or a red house with a porch? While we love walking you through these color situations, we know your husband has some really great insight to offer, and he's probably just been waiting for the day that you ask him! All sarcasm aside, we do love seeing all the couples out there that pick out their baskets together, it is so sweet! Never underestimate the opinion of your family, it's a family affair!
#4: When you look at the pictures of flowers, it makes you feel just a little warmer and sunny inside!
When you're feeling a little overwhelmed by the cold weather, slushy snow and freezing temperatures, there's no better cure than to look at pictures of flowers! You can browse online at all of our fun, unique combos, and just imagine the warmth of the sun on your skin. If you close your eyes you may even smell some of the flowers too!
#5: Keith will sleep much better and smile a little more knowing his baskets are selling even in the snow!
Planning for our hanging baskets is no joke! We begin crunching numbers in the fall and place orders for plants. December/January is spent getting the "recipes" ready and how many plants we need. Those are also translated into what our preorder will entail, and how many we can offer in each combo. Keith loses a little bit of sleep this time of year, but with each online order submitted, he rests a little easier from all that hard work. We think he gets about an hour of sleep per basket sold! (wink wink)
Nothing will ever take the place of coming into the greenhouse for the full, immersive experience in our gorgeous, welcoming greenhouse come spring. We are thankful for the option to order online for so many reasons, and appreciate the ease and comfort for you to get a head start on your flower shopping!
