Trade Secrets - May 19, 2018 was another huge success this year! Despite the rain we had all day, it didn't "dampen" our spirits! Lots of garden enthusiasts took home their favorite garden pieces to accent their favorite plants, flowers, grasses and vegetables!! See you all again next year!  Thank you for your patronage and your visit!

 Storm "Elsa" came in and froze our little corner of the world with a vengeance, but that hasn't stopped us from thinking about all of our Spring inventory!  Our beautiful garden pieces are waiting for their new forever homes - "YOURS"!  They may be buried in 2 feet of snow right now, but they will soon be thawed and ready to go!  The good news - all of our pieces can withstand any outside forces of nature! Whether it's snow, sleet, rain or winds, our pieces stand up to the harshest of weather!  No need for bringing in your garden pieces every winter, they can stay outdoors for a very long time! And why would you? They are so beautiful, they stand out all four seasons of the year!
Bring on the storms - we are ready!  We are also ready to create your Spring projects! Have an idea for a new garden piece? Do you need a new railing installed?  Give us a call and let us help you create your new project! Browse by our collection on the website, our ETSY store, or stop in at our shop for an up close and personal viewing. Just give us a couple days to find our way out of all this snow!
