The Wii is hooked up!

Rockband anyone? J/K... that's an after hours game (maybe). I've got a great summer game for the wii and I invite you to come play if you like. There is another game coming out in the fall or spring that will be a lot of fun too. I'll be sure to let you know when it comes out!

Why Is It Called "Lucky" Bamboo?

Along with its ease of growth, Lucky Bamboo has long been associated with the Eastern practice of Feng Shui - or the bringing of natural elements of water, fire, earth, wood and metal into balance within the environment. Lucky Bamboo is believed to be an ideal example of the thriving wood and water element, with the addition of a red ribbon sometimes tied around the stalks - which is believed to "fire" the positive flow of energy or chi in the room.
The number of stalks also has meaning : three stalks for happiness; five stalks for wealth; six stalks for health. Four stalks, however, are always avoided since the word "four" in Chinese sounds too similar to the Chinese word for "death"!

We've moved to Capitol Hill!

We're on Capitol Hill now. 1546 15th Ave. right next door to Anchovies & Olives, and just down the way from Healeo. Come in and check out the new space. We're very proud of it.

New inventory: not only are we carring plants and pots, but now we offer outdoor garden games from Jaques London, patio furniture from Loll Designs and Fermob, planters from Perch! Designs, and some other really fun accessories.

As always, we have some great art on the walls. Currently we are host to Matthew Olds (http://www.holdstudios.com/)
