Grow Your Own Sprouts

Botanical Interests Seed SprouterEating out is always an adventure for our taste buds. Even sandwiches seem to have those extra ingredients which make the taste and texture special. You, too, can easily grow some of those ingredients in your own home with a Seed Sprouter from Botanical Interests.

Alfalfa sprouts add crunch and a nutty flavor. Fenugreek sprouts add a subtle spicy flavor. Broccoli sprouts are packed with nutrition and a slight spiciness and Mung sprouts have a sweet crispness. With the specially designed Botanical Interest Sprouter, you can grow all of them at the same time, catering to all the different taste preferences of your family.

Add sprouts to soups or salads. With a fresh supply at your fingertips, you can experiment and become the top chef of your household.

Check out our display with the large variety of sprouting seeds and Seed Sprouters.

Rinsing is the key to growing sprouts successfully. Easy directions are found in each box.

The Botanical Interests introductory video gives you a glimpse of what you can produce.

Grow It Fruit Cage

We love our birds but prefer they snack on the bird food we set out for them and not on our blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries.

Gardman Grow It Fruit Cage protects your fruit and crops from bird damage, and deters larger animals from grazing. It comes with a powder coated steel frame and tough black netting.  The cage measures 2' 4" L x 6' 5" W x 5' 2" H and can help ensure your produce makes it to your table.

Garden Ideas for Mother's Day

 

This is the week to show our moms some love!  We've got all kinds of spring things Mom would love -

  • beautiful hanging baskets
  • luscious rose bushes that will give her a long season of blooms
  • flowering trees to add a dash of seasonal drama to her garden
  • blueberry bushes and fruit trees to shower her with her favorite fruits
  • hand tools and decorative items to enhance her work and space.

If you can't decide what your Mother might love, a Farmington Gardens gift card would be perfect. Your Mom will be happy when receiving it and delighted again when spending it!

Just don't forget, the most valuable gift is the gift of your time! Have a Happy Mother's Day.
