NEW POTTERY HAS ARRIVED!
We've just returned from our annual trip to Mexico & new pottery has arrived! If you've already seen/bought goods from our previous stash, don't think that this grouping looks the same.
 
We have purposely selected a huge, different array of unusual pieces that will delight & excite you! Lots of pieces feature animals in different poses like lizards, frogs, monkeys, rabbits & more. We have vases crafted entirely of leather-so unusual you have to see to believe-wall pockets, towering clay cactus, just tons of awesome goodies. We guarantee that your trip out will be well worth it to see everything we have in stock-you won't find these on the Front Range-we truly believe this pottery represents our rarest, most unique finds yet! For our internet customers, photos will be coming soon to the website. Pottery can also be shipped anywhere!

WE'RE REDECORATING!
If you haven't been out to the greenhouse lately, we're redecorating downstairs in the barn! The main room needed a bit of a face lift, so new lighting has been installed, & we're working on more as time allows. On your next visit, let us know what you think of the new changes!

CHRISTMAS GREENERY & TREE AVAILABILITY:
Time for poinsettia & wreath preorders! Poinsettias are given lots of TLC in our greenhouses & grown under natural conditions. Our greenery is lovingly decorated by hand with embellishments gathered from our own gardens. We'll feature Red, White & Jingle Bells poinsettias this year, & wreaths will be sized at 14" & 20". Regular prices are: $19.95 for poinsettias, $26.95 for 14" wreaths & $36.95 for 20" wreaths. 
 
However, you can receive $2 off each item if you order wreaths and other greenery by November 21st and Poinsettias by November 27th.
 
Dear friends,
 
Greetings from Ricky & Lucy's Greenhouse!
 
Fall has certainly been busy, hasn't it? We hope you've transitioned to cooler weather without too much trouble. Here at the greenhouse, we've had much to accomplish over the past month: harvesting produce & putting the bounty into the root cellar, cleaning out our many garden beds, planting bulbs & a last few trees, shrubs & perennials, bottling herbs for the greenhouse shelves, tending to poinsettias, etc. Of course, we've come to the conclusion that it never really slows down here! This time of year, we have an even bigger abundance of tasks to accomplish before the first snow. Always a lot to do-so little time. We're so thankful for the food harvest; in the dead of winter, we'll have food to eat that reminds us of warmer summer days.

Here I am with some of our soon to bloom poinsettias that will be ready just in time for your holiday decorating!! These beauties go quickly so use the convenient pre-order form.

*A little note to pond owners: Pond maintenance is still very important throughout the cold months. The knowledgeable staff at Ricky & Lucy's can help you develop a system that will keep your pond in tip-top shape year round. That way, when warmer weather does arrive, you'll have avoided problems & you'll be ahead of the game! Give us a call at the greenhouse for more info, or check here to browse through our time-tested, preferred products.

*Also, a correction from last month's newsletter: We apologize that the link for the NASA study article on houseplants & indoor health did not include the second page of the article. The second page contains all the great information that breaks down specific houseplants & what toxins they eliminate best from the air. Please click here if you'd like to read this great article in its entirety. Don't forget that we carry most of these plants at the greenhouse for all your interior landscaping!if you'd like to read this great article in its entirety.
