 |
Tool Set Cultivator, trowel and transplanter are ideal for potted plants. Can be gift wrapped, $8. |
 |
Silk Spray Environmentally safe, the spray dissolves dust and dirt without affecting the silk or dried design. 12-oz can, $12. |
 |
Joyce Chen Scissors These are the famous Joyce Chen guaranteed, stainless steel scissors. Numerous versions (Bonsai, tweezers, garden, etc.) also available. $25 and up. Store inventory includes other, less expensive scissors, too. |
 |
Wire Paddle Fits the hand, won't roll away, and keeps neat its green-painted wire for many wreaths or designs. ½-lb, $5. Larger wire rolls of differing strengths available, too, on order. |
 |
Rain Rocks Designed for the bottom of pots for drainage, these frosted-glass irregular shapes are too good looking not to be on display on pot tops too -- or in a vase of cut flowers! $9 per1/2-lb bag, Quantity discounts available. |
 |
Frog Stem Holder When the holder will be seen (like in a shallow glass dish) green ceramic Mr. Frog does the job with aplomb. $20. |
 |
Pot Pads Protect those table tops from spilled water under your favorite flowering pots -- round or square, walnut or cork hue, 4" to 24", $2.50 and up. Some sizes out of stock. |
 |
Hairpin Stem Holders From the small 1" size (shown, $9) to larger ovals, rectangular shapes, and circles, all provide the famous hair-pin method of holding stems for fresh or dried. The hairpin method, best for silks, grips the stems instead of cutting into the stem bottoms like the sharp pin-cushion holders (shown elsewhere). |
 |
Plant Misters The copper mister atop a glass bowl (either clear, blue or pale green) works equally well outdoors, on floral designs, even ironing! $12.50. |
 |
Dry Foam Blocks Just like the popular, wet Oasis blocks for cut-flower designs, these dried Sahara Foam blocks become the foundation for silk or dried designs hot-glued inside bowl or basket. $5.50. |
 |
Eco Water Spouts Make use of those old plastic carbonated-beverage bottles! Screw on the spout to create your own watering can. $9. |
 |
Wooden Picks Just like hidden hair-pins, these picks keep just right those dried or silk flowers! 60 at 6", $3.75. Also 90 of 3" $3.25. |
