When asked to help select the curated selection of staff favorites for May, you can tell that the upcoming gardening season is on everyone’s mind! Here are some of our staff favorites of plants and gardening this month!

Handmade Macrame Plant Pot Holders: Growing houseplants is a passion of mine, but I also have a toddler and a few pets running around the home. These are the perfect solution to keep plants out of reach and the macrame look is on trend right now as well! I love that there is a variety of styles available so I was able to pick and choose the ones that worked best for my home! – Alyssa

Smart Plant Monitor: It seems like there is an app or automatic system for just about everything and now, there is one for your plants to! I love how simple and easy this makes it to keep on top of plant care, especially if you have a lot of plants like I do! – Alyssa

Vertical Wall Gardens: I love the idea of Vertical Gardening! I do have a fairly decent back yard for a city lot but I also have a busy family and young grandchildren so I don’t want to use up all of my yard space for gardening. Using wall space or space along the fence leaves the rest of my yard open for gathering and playing! – Crystal

Silicone Molds for Cement Pots: I love a good DIY project – and these silicone molds are so versatile! I’m currently obsessed with succulents and I love these silicone molds for creating my own unique planters but they could also be used to create custom candles, a little office desk organize and more! – Mandy


Potato Grow Bags: I love potatoes. My kids love potatoes. But the majority of my garden consists of planter boxes and pots so potatoes aren’t on the agenda, until now! I actually order a few of these for myself last fall and I am looking forward to giving them a try this summer and growing my own potatoes right on my back deck! – Crystal
