10 Things to Spend Your Swan Dollars On

Do you have Swan Dollars lying around? Gather them all up and make a trip to Swansons, because you can use them for up to half of your purchase until July 31st, even on sale items!

So, what do our employees spend their Swan Dollars on? So many different things. Plants, of course, but also many other unique, interesting, and useful products that you may not think about right away. We decided to put together a short list of items, including plants and other merchandise, that we love and are spending our Swan Dollars on this July. We hope it inspires your Swan Dollar purchases!




Felco Pruners

What would we ever do without our reliable and tough Felco pruners! They are a favorite of Swansons’ staff because they are constructed to last and are perfect for both small and large pruning projects.

 

Outdoor Ceramic Pots

Walking through Swansons’ pottery courtyard is an amazing experience. All the different colors, styles, and sizes! Ceramic pots make an excellent focal point in the garden, whether filled with seasonal flowers or a dramatic statement shrub, or even left empty as decorative garden art.

 

Trees

When Swan Dollar redemption time comes around, many Swansons’ employees buy that large tree or shrub they’ve been eyeing (to plant in that statement pot!) We have an amazing selection of street trees, fruit trees, and screening trees to choose from.

 

Jewelry

We walk by the jewelry case every day to see what’s new. When we gather our Swan Dollars, we can splurge on that beautiful pair of earrings or that stunning necklace. Jewelry makes a great gift for our loved ones and also for ourselves!

 

Dramm Hoses and Nozzles

Dramm hoses and nozzles are a ‘must-have’ for every gardener. The hoses are high quality and resistant to kinking and weathering. The nozzles allow us to gently sprinkle seeds, spray off aphids, and deeply water our planted containers. Plus, we love the fun array of colors!

 

Indoor Plants & Pottery

A list of what Swansons’ employees like to purchase wouldn’t be complete without indoor plants and the beautiful pots to put them in. There’s no better feeling than bringing home a new plant “baby” to your houseplant family.

 

Flowering Perennials

July is the prime season for flowering perennials. We can’t get enough Salvias, Echinaceas, Fuchsias, and Dahlias. Not only will the garden look lush and colorful, the pollinators will thank you for your purchase!

 

Statuary

Whether you want to invoke the dark romanticism of Poe with a stately raven or prefer some cuddly woodland creatures, there is always a place for statuary in the garden.

 

Glass Garden Art

You may have marveled at the colorful, whimsical glass art by Jesse Kelly in our conservatory. When we have Swan Dollars to redeem, his unique pieces are on our shopping list. Not only are they beautiful, they are created to withstand the elements year-round outside in the garden!

 

Welcome Mats

We can’t think of a better way to show your love for pollinators than by welcoming guests into your home or garden with this “Bee Happy” mat!
