The Boutique just got a whole lot ✨cozier.✨

We have been unpacking so many beautiful new things, and honestly, these might be some of our favorite arrivals to date!

Think beautiful little upgrades for everyday life: Bilyeu & Co. dish soap bars and wood dish scrubbers, marble soap dishes, soft linen and cotton dish towels, olive wood kitchen utensils, gorgeous Mexican glassware, and new linen tea towels that are almost too pretty to actually use (and are amazing as gifts! 😍).

And then there are the candles from Hood River Candle Co. 🕯️ So many incredible scents! The kind that make you need to pick up every candle, smell them all, and immediately start imagining where one would live in your home.

Our current obsession? The mini lamps.

They’re tiny. They’re charming. And they give off that warm little glow that instantly makes a space feel more inviting. Put one on the kitchen counter, a bathroom shelf, a bedside table, or anywhere that could use a little extra ambiance.
Basically, they’re good vibes in lamp form.

Come see, smell, and feel everything in person! There are some things you really do have to experience in person.

And if you came in for a plant and accidentally left with a mini lamp and a candle...

Well. We understand. 🤷‍♀️

💧 You watered your plants. So why are they STILL wilting?

If your garden has been looking a little sad lately despite your best watering efforts, you’re not necessarily doing anything wrong!

When temperatures climb, plants can wilt even when the soil has plenty of moisture. Heat stress, root problems, compacted soil, and other factors can all cause those droopy leaves.

Before you reach for the hose again, take a closer look. 👀

We put together a guide to help you figure out why your plants are wilting after watering, what’s actually happening, and what you can do to help them bounce back.

🌱 Read the full guide on the Good News Gardening blog: https://www.goodnewsgardening.com/post/plants-wilting-even-after-watering

And if you’re still stumped after reading it, bring us a photo! We’re happy to help you play plant detective!

✨ Your 2027 vegetable garden starts NOW.✨

Fresh veggies are ready to go home with you, and some are getting very close to harvest! If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to get more food growing, this is your sign. 🌿🤗

We’ve also got an amazing selection of edible plants that can still be planted this season, including fruit trees like apple, pear, avocado and Myer lemons! As well as vines, berries, and other perennial producers. 🍋🥑🍎 Give them a head start now and you’ll be that much closer to harvesting from your own garden next year.

And here’s a little secret for the gardeners who like to get ahead: some of our fall veggies, like King cabbage and purple sprouting broccoli, are meant to be overwintered. Plant them now, let them settle in, and they’ll wake up ready to produce an extra-early harvest next spring!

Think of it as getting a head start on the 2027 veggie garden while everyone else is still deciding what to plant. 😉

Come see what’s ready to harvest, what’s almost ready, and what you can get in the ground now for an even better garden next year!

There’s still plenty of summer left to bloom! 🌸

Our annuals section is absolutely popping off right now, and there are some seriously gorgeous plants still putting on a show. Brilliant blooms, lush foliage, and color that can carry your garden through the rest of summer and right up to the first hard frost.

If your containers are looking a little tired, your porch could use a refresh, or you simply have room for one more beautiful plant (we fully support this), now is the time to come take a look!

Some of the best annuals of the season are looking their absolute best right now. If nothing else, you have to come see this dinner plate sized hibiscus in person to believe it! 🌺😍
