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.
The 2022 Swan Dollar series is inspired by block printing and features pollinators!
You can use Swan Dollars (from any year!) for up to half of your purchase throughout the month of July, even on sale items. It makes July the perfect time for a splurge on something special!
So, what should you spend your Swan Dollars on? 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!
Flowers to Attract Pollinators to our Yards
July is a great time to find gorgeous flowers that bees, butterflies, and birds adore. We’re partial to Echinacea, Salvia, Yarrow, Helenium, Gaura, Dahlia, and hardy Fuchsia, to name just a few. Pollinators will thank you for your purchase!
Echinacea (Coneflower) has long-lasting blooms and is a favorite of pollinators.
A combination of Echinacea, Gaura, and Verbena Bonariensis will have pollinators flocking to your garden.

Felco Pruners
What would we ever do without our reliable and tough Felco pruners! They are a favorite of Swansons’ staff because they are constructed to last and are perfect for both small and large pruning projects. These pruners are definitely worth the investment.

Patio Furniture & Umbrellas
Some of us have large patios and decks, others a small balcony. What we have in common is our desire to create a relaxing and leafy oasis of the space we have. We use our Swan Dollars to buy just the right pieces of patio furniture and umbrellas to make our outdoor spaces feel special.
Fermob Sixties Collection Rocking Chair is chic and so comfortable.
Our sturdy umbrellas feature push-button tilting mechanisms and UV-resistant fabrics that retain their bright colors.

Summer-Blooming Trees & Shrubs
When Swan Dollar redemption time comes around, many of us invest in that large tree or shrub we’ve been eyeing. In July, we see a wide variety of trees and shrubs with gorgeous summer flowers and foliage. It’s our best selection of Hydrangeas!

Indoor Plants & Pottery
No matter the size of our indoor plant collection (many of us have lost count!), we can always find a new one that we just have to bring home. We also know that new pots are a fun and easy way to style our plants and freshen up our home décor. We carry a great selection of ceramic cachepots, baskets, hanging planters, and more.

Outdoor Pottery
Outdoor ceramic pots make a great centerpiece for the garden, especially if planted with a statement tree or a bold mix of flowers and foliage. We save up our Swan Dollars for purchases just like this.

Garden Statues & Décor
Whether we want to invoke the dark romanticism of Poe with a stately raven, bring some zen to our space, or invite in some delightful woodland creatures (that won’t eat our plants), there is always a place for a statue in the garden. A special piece of glass art can add a finishing touch and draw the eye to a specific area of the garden and rain chains are beautiful and practical!
