Give the gift of green this holiday season!
December 1, 2014
Food waste digesters, composters and compost accessories are 10% off in December!
Don’t forget we don’t just have composters … we also carry books (Pacific Northwest Plant Knowledge cards would make fantastic holiday gifts) and a variety of locally made, all-organic, herbal-infused honeys, tinctures and salves from Miss Mullein’s Herbals.
We’re open until Saturday December 20th, so you’ve got plenty of time to stop by, talk compost and find some local and sustainable gifts for the lucky people on your list!

If you’re looking for a unique holiday gift for a friend or a way to attract native pollinators to your garden, check out these mason bee condos! These beauties are handmade by Gord Hutchings of Hutchings Bee Service after years of research and design refinement by Gord and his father. They are full of fantastic features like pull-out peekaboo trays to maximize bee health as well as giving you lots of chances to observe the bees. We have them in stock now and are selling them for $35.
We also offer classes from Gord to teach you more about how to care for your mason bees, how to attract native pollinators to your garden and more! Stay tuned for our 2015 workshop schedule for more details on our workshops.
If you’re excited to learn more about our wide variety of amazing native pollinators, Gord’s website is a wealth of information: https://sites.google.com/site/hutchingsbeeservice/home
