Mention on the NW Flower & Garden Show Blog

See our mention today on Flora’s Blog. She blogs for the Northwest Flower and Garden Show! And yes, tree farms are GREEN in our opinion. Feel free to help spread the word!

You can order wreaths and centerpieces anytime by the way and we will deliver in the order window you desire.

Wreaths Direct

P.S. We are getting some really awesome prizes for the tour and some cool companies like MomLogic and Goosie Cards are helping us out. Can’t wait to announce the goodies!

Prizes! Prizes!

 

This tour is going to be a lot of fun and I hope that you will consider joining us.  We are planning prizes for:

Blog Poster/Owner of the MOST COMMENTED ON wreath post. To keep this fair, as some will post earlier in the tour than others, posts will be counted for 7 full days after the posting appears on the blog. The one with the most comments on their wreath blog post wins. Note: if you moderate comments before they can appear on your blog, it is important that you do so for us to count the comment. I will post details on the PRIZE as soon as I get them but this will be a gift in the $50.00 value range.

 

COMMENTATORS-We are also planning a few smaller prizes for the people who comment on the blogs, and yes, blog owners/posters are eligible as one of the requirements of hosting is that the blog owners/posters visit and comment on at least 5 other posts. 

Details coming soon!

Email Julie if you are interested in hosting a fresh, evergreen wreath this season!
