Zinc Garden is a new home and garden shop opening this Spring on East Baltimore Pike in Kennett Square. Previously Home & Garden Culture, Zinc Garden will be offering a variety of high quality and unique home and garden goods to customers.

Zinc Garden will also welcome GreenRoots Landscaping with its own, onsite design studio within the Zinc shop. We want to give Zinc a huge shoutout for this great opportunity to offer our design services through the shop alongside their merchandise. We hope you will stop by Zinc or check out their website to see what they have to offer and we can’t wait to have Zinc as an asset for our customers' home and garden needs indoors and out!

2020 was a year that none of us could have predicted what it would look like.

While plans had to be changed and canceled all year long, a backyard retreat at home is something you can rely on. This is the year to love your backyard.

This season likely looks different than most. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t embrace the festive! An evergreen wreath brings all of “the feels.”

We have given this tutorial before, but while we are all staying home more than normal it seems like a great time to revisit and learn how to make a beautiful diy Christmas wreath that we can all make from the comfort of our own homes!

Thom is our go to when it comes to advice and November tips are no different. Basically if “Thom says” it, it must be true. So I’ll quit talking, let’s go to Thom and his November “to do list.”

Has the backyard ever been more important in the history of homeownership? With access to outdoor recreation fluctuating alongside coronavirus case numbers, those of us with backyards should take a moment to reflect on the beauty of having our own, private outdoor space. Even better, we should invest in it! If you’re looking to add value to your home in the age of COVID, cultivating a great-looking backyard is one of the best places to start. To get you started, we gathered backyard experts from Portland to Philadelphia to get you the inside scoop on beautifying your outdoor space.

In case you haven’t already heard, the Mushroom Festival for 2020 is canceled due to COVID19. First and foremost we wanted to make sure you all know since we have first met many of you at the festival and those we have know from before we often get to catch up with at the festival as well. We will miss the hang out opportunity and being able to meet new members of our community as well. It is truly a community bonding experience for us. We love coming together as a team and building something to draw your eye in and give you a glimpse of what we can achieve while being surrounded by all of Kennett Square.

Quick Bio: Erick brings fresh ideas with an emphasis in a clean modern aesthetic with a passion for formal gardens.

We send out an email every year in July reminding our customers that their plants are thirsty! Even with plants carefully picked for our climate, the brutally hot days can take a toll on our plants. They will need extra care and attention to make sure they have enough water to get them through heat waves.

If you’ve been reading our blogs for almost any amount of time, you’ve probably heard us say, we always recommend starting with an excellent design. I think most people would readily agree until they hear dollar signs. It is not that designs are expensive, we range from $500-$2500 depending on the scope of the project. But people give out free design/estimates? What is the difference from what we offer and what they are offering for free? In essence, are landscape design retainers worth the money? What’s the difference between us and “the other guys?”

I don’t know about you but I am itching. Itching to get out, itching to see people, but more than anything itching to go on vacation! I have been searching vacation destinations with high hopes we’ll be back to vacationing soon. I hope that traveling to our favorite destinations are coming right around the corner but in the mean time I know I need some R&R now and I imagine that you probably do as well! You may have even already had to cancel a scheduled trip!

You are probably spending more time in your backyard than ever right now! I know that I am and I’ve noticed my neighbors working on their yard more than ever too. Being stuck at home means more yard time for playing, relaxing, and probably some backyard projects as well. While this national predicament has changed what all of us thought 2020 would bring, 2020 is not over and together we can make plans for your dream backyard to be realized sooner than you think!
