Do you know about Swansons’ Swan Dollars? This fabulous tradition is our way of saying “thank you” for shopping with us in the spring. Each April, May, and June, you collect Swan Dollars on every purchase you make. In July, it’s time to gather them all up and visit Swansons to redeem them. You can use Swan Dollars (from any year!) to save up to 50% on your purchase throughout July, even on sale items. Here are some of the things we’re using our Swan Dollars to buy this year. We hope it inspires you to come in and treat yourself!

This guide will help you get started.
The Pacific Northwest may be famous for its rainy climate, but those of us who live here know that we also experience dry summers. By choosing to plant drought-tolerant trees and shrubs, you can reduce water use and create lower-maintenance gardens.
