. Re: Unique Gift & Decorating Source — not just a Garden Center

It’s Spring. March 30, and we’re still shoveling winter off our steps. Am I going to let that get the best of me? No way. Just around corner — in the not-​too-​distant future beyond the cold slippery snowy icy weather conditions — are nursery and garden center excursions. This one is a favorite.
Not sure what stock they have right now, but even if you live in an apartment or condo, add Plant Crafters to your April and May shopping destinations. Surprised there were no addtional reviews since I wrote one 2 years ago. Maybe future regulars are sailing right past thinking it’s all for OUTDOORS. Not at all — it’s more than mulch, beautiful annuals and perenniels, 20 gallon planters, and 300 pound fountains.
It’s also a GIFT and DECORATING SOURCE. And everything about Plant Crafters is 5 star: the owner, his adorable dog, his staff, live & artificial indoor plants, outdoor plants & flowers, gardening supplies, containers, decorative outdoor & indoor statuary & ironwork, better quality giftware, and an EXCELLENT selection of artificial floral arrangements in baskets, pottery, and wreaths. (Ones you’d find in $$$ high end specialty florists, but for less.)
I’m updating because I neglected to mention their heavy-​duty heavier gauge shepherd hooks — a larger in circumference commercial-​grade weight I’ve never found at the Big Boxes. I put mine in the ground 3 years ago, and have never removed them. At the time, they were available in singles, doubles, triples and quads, 6 foot and 7 foot (from ground level).
And don’t be surprised if while looking over one of the several themed displays in their inviting showroom, or through shelves stacked with a variety of potting soils, you’re suddenly — unexpectedly — nudged in the leg. No — it’s not the latest touchy-​feely sales approach. (Actually, you’ll probably be free to roam solo like I have every visit.) It’s just the owners’ friendly Yellow Lab’s way of politely asking for a gentle pet and a few words of praise — «Oh, I’m just looking right now, but I must say, you’re very pretty.»

I have been there a few times walking around this store with my Mom. The displays of this store are stunning. There is a yellow lab that lies down right by the register, (That is older and very mellow) There are also yellow zebra finches in a cage that a in need of a light spritz of water. (Poor birds, only one of them doesn’t have the allergies) (Ha, ha!)
