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!

Planting a Fall Vegetable Garden

We are so lucky in the Pacific Northwest to be able to grow veggies nearly year-round (with a little help from season-extending materials) but the fact is that many vegetable gardeners don’t take advantage of the opportunities that exist in mid-to-late summer to plant vegetables for fall and even extra-early spring harvests.
