Vashon's Hanging Baskets

For the past few months we've been watching our hanging baskets begin to take shape and eagerly anticipating Memorial Day weekend when these baskets will take center stage throughout town brightening up Vashon's storefronts for the entire summer season. We offer a big THANKS to Kathy's Corner for partnering with us as our grower for these beautiful baskets.

Saturday on Vashon

It's shaping up to be a beautiful Mother's Day weekend and in case you haven't figured out what to get that special Lady in your life, stop by the Annual Potting Day at the Vashon True Value where they'll be potting up containers and baskets for free with a store purchase. You can either buy a planter or flower start at the store or bring up your own and they'll take care of the rest! They'll pot up anything including the kitchen sink, no joke.

Seeing Green

We took off for the eastside over the weekend to celebrate a special little boy's 3rd birthday and when we got home, it was like a two day time warp to summer! The weather around here has been beautiful and reluctant leaf buds threw caution to the wind unfurling a verdant pallette of green against the landscape. Looking closer, the signs of spring have long been underway and it's time to jump on board, get outside and take advantage of this prime growing season!

Stop by True Value this Saturday when I'll be discussing tips to growing a "green" lawn. Learn the steps to installing, rejuvenating and overhauling your lawn, choosing seed blends suitable for the northwest, and how to identify and tackle common lawn (& garden) concerns, diseases and weeds the natural way! So get out there and dig up that pesky weed (or bring in a photo) Saturday between 11 & 1 for help in identifying and finding an organic and sustainable approach to keeping your lawn & garden healthy and safe for you, your family & pets and the environment we love!

Keep an eye out for the store flyer featuring discounts on lawn & garden products that will be discussed and featured during the lawn & garden demo! The True Value Service Center will also be offering discounts on lawn equipment rentals to help you get started with your lawn projects.
