Tree Hugging Displays




Decorating yards, porches, and columns year round is so much fun. It gives you chances to change up the way things look for a fresh feel to your yard. I want to tell you about a neat new way to do just that, but even easier. The Tree Hugger is an ideal way to display flowers, holiday pumpkins, Christmas lights, and more.


The Tree Hugger doesn't require any tools, nails, or fasteners to work. An innovative simple cantilever design holds the Tree Hugger securely in position on any cylindrical shape 4"-11" around. The design also allows you to move it as you desire without damage to the structure you had it on. It can even be attached to crooked or angled trees for a unique decor.



The Tree Hugger holds three 1.5qt (6") flower pots and can also hold hanging baskets as well. Use it to showcase flowers, accessorize bird baths, decorate for Holidays, or even feed and water animals outside.

No More Weeds In Our Beds!




A huge advantage to having a container or vertical garden is the decreased need to weed it. Having your plants safe and secure off the ground is a huge advantage when fighting weeds. But what if you love having your garden in the ground? The search for an effective alternative to removing weeds by hand can be daunting.  We have a few solutions that will help you in your search.



Another alternative is the Weed Dragon. Just as the name might imply, it uses flame power instead of herbicides. The propane torch kit does not burn the weed, but the high heat destroys the cell structure of the plant to kill the weed for good. This has been a popular green gas option for over 50 years in homes and gardens. The Weed Dragon is great for more than just a weed killer, it can be used to thaw frozen pipes, melt snow and ice, start a campfire, or even light charcoal. I don't know about you, but something that not only keeps my family and pets away from herbicides, but also serves multiple purposes is a winner to me.


We get overrun by Dandelions every year. Of course, my children love them. My youngest daughter will even surprise me in the car with one, which she has to make a wish and blow of course. Dandelion seeds everywhere! For me, I don't mind them so much, but they will take over a yard or garden before you can blink an eye. The only way to stop them is by getting to the root of the plant. most tools only get the bulb, but unless you get the whole root, you are just prolonging the amount of time before they pop right back up. This Dandelion Removal Tool solves that by going deep below ground, wrapping the root up, and pulling it out. Better than that, it doesn't require you to get on your hands and knees thanks to a long handle.


You can find both of these tools, as well as other cultivators, hand tools, and more at our websites:

If you wish to try to skip these steps all together and just plant a container or vertical garden, then we have you covered for that as well. We have all sorts of ideas to get you started on a living wall or container veggie garden.
