Hello friends. I hope you all cozy and warm, safely tucked in and enjoying the beauty of the snow, only from the window!

Just an update with our "Orchid Pallooza" open house... considering the weather, we thought it best to postpone the February 1st event and use our snow date of Saturday, February 8th to reschedule.

As our previous post said the day will begin at 9am and go on throughout the day with informative lectures on Wendy's passionate topic, "Orchid". No reservations required. Come and learn, peruse the lovelies, and sample our lite-bites and our signature beverage, Pinecone's own "Orchid Punch". 

Orchid Basics 101 will take place at 10am following with Orchid Arranging at 11am and again at 2pm.

If you have an orchid that may need re-potting, and would like some help, bring it with you and we will instruct you how to get it done.

Bring a friend and see why it is so easy to get hooked on these beautiful orchid flowers.

A new venture... We are now offering classes, demos and fun times for private parties and get togethers. For example; Girls Get Togethers, Garden Clubs,Book Clubs,etc. Invite some friends and have a great time!

With Valentines Day just around the bend, there is nothing like a live flowering plant that says " I care about you." That is because they last a lot longer than cut flowers, are extremely healthy for the air in your home and for picking up sagging spirits. We have a gorgeous selection perfect for gift-giving. There are stunning orchids in a few different sizes and varieties, small container gardens, foliage and blooming houseplants. Also for treating yourself and others are Pinecone's Terrarium selections. There are what we call tiny gardens under glass and they are sooo special.

Pick up a "grab and go" selection or with a few days notice, we can customize a work of living art for you.

Research has shown that living plants help recovering people heal faster, students produce better grades and have less behavioral difficulties, improve one's mood, and make folks want to smile. It's true so pick up a plant and feel better!
