We currently have rainbarrels in stock again. They sell fast so call first to make sure they are still available. We offer the blue and the black barrels. They are refurbished pickle barrels with a screened intake, overflow valve and a spigot near the bottom. They all hold at least 55 gallons. We offer the blue barrel for $59.95 and the black for $69.95.

Upcoming Events:
Each summer, we are fortuname to have hummingbird expert Susan Campbell visit with us. She is the only person licensed in NC to band hummingbirds for life and flight research. Susan offers participants a rare glance into the life of these amazing little creatures and has a multitude of tips and advice for attracting and feeding. There is no charge for this event. The date for her visit this year will be posted when confirmed.
By popular demand, Big Bloomers opens its Holiday Store the first weekend of November at Riverbirch Shopping Center here in Sanford. Conveniently located, "Beyond the Garden Gate" offers shoppers seasonal foliage, decor, gifts and Farm grown poinsettias, paperwhites, cyclamen and beautiful potted arrangements for holiday decorating.
