Please go like our new page! Or administrator got hacked and lost her page.

Hi Boynton's friends! So some of you may know that my account was hacked a while ago and despite every effort to gain access again, I only can do so in a very limited capacity. So, I had to make the very difficult decision to start a new page. This is just devastating to me because I have worked on my previous page for 9 or 10 years. We had a pretty good following and it really helped us show off our products, share some humor, pretty pictures and helpful hints for plants and gardening. If you could help us out by sharing some of our posts and inviting some of your own friends you think would be interested, I would be eternally grateful!

P.S. This is not a page where you will be bombarded with constant sales pitches, mostly just nice pictures of our work so please don't worry that you're setting your friends up for constant advertisements. Thank you so much!

Our Boynton's Greenhouse family has recently lost a bright light. Adam Archer worked here this spring. His sweet smile, sense of humor, quick intelligence and charming nature quickly endeared him to all of us. We thought of him as a kid brother, the one you like to gently tease about wearing a wool hat and baggy sweatpants when working in a hot greenhouse, but secretly really love and admire for his kindness and work ethic. We cannot begin to express our sorrow at his sudden passing. His loss is devastating to his parents and sister, his extended family and friends. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Adam loved sports, in particular soccer, and animals of all kinds. If you wish to help us commemorate his far too brief life, you could help a sports program at a school or community center of your choice or donate to a local animal shelter.

We will be closing at noon on Saturday, September 11th so that we may attend Adam's celebration of life that afternoon. We will be open from 8 to 12 for any deliveries or pickups.

ATHENS - Adam Michael “Man-cub” Archer, 15, passed away unexpectedly August 20, 2021. He was born Jan. 4, 2006 in Storm ...

I want it to stay summer, but if that can't happen at least we can have some gorgeous High Magic roses!

We finally got a shipment of clay pots! We got standard sizes in 3 colors, terracotta, granite and dark basalt. I really like the granite and dark basalt ones. Clay is so good for plants, but the classic terracotta is a bit plain. I think the 2 new colors is a great upgrade. We also got more of the powder-coated clay pots in lots of colors and a small assortment of other items. We're still waiting for another major shipment. I will keep you posted!

One of our lifesavers is blooming! It has 3 blossoms and tons of buds! We still have people that haven't picked up the plant we saved for them and we also have several to sell. They're in 4" pots for $19.99!

There are some special people out there who could really help infants born into a difficult circumstance. If you are one of them, or know someone that is, why not build a bridge?

Last minute bridal bouquet for a wedding tomorrow. How lucky that we always have so many beautiful flowers on hand! If you're open to letting us just do our thing, I guarantee you won't be sorry. After all, this is what we do!

If you can help or know someone who can, why not reach out? If you can't, how about sharing this post? Thank you!

Construction time! Don't worry if you see our main greenhouse looking like this. We're moving all our houseplants out to #1 greenhouse under shade. They will be happy out there while we level our floor and build new benches! We still have a ton of healthy houseplants to choose from with new ones arriving weekly.

Whoever comes closest will get a free bouquet of them; you'll just need to pick it up. We will accept guesses today, tomorrow and Thursday. If more than 1 person gets it right, we will randomly draw a name of the correct guesses. Comment below with your guesses. Good luck!

We have new air plants!

Cool new plant alert!

We got a plant yesterday that I had not seen before. It's called ficus umbellata. Right now they are in 4" pots, but they can get quite large. This is what I read about them:

If you’re looking for a new, whimsical plant to add to your decor in 2021, the Ficus Umbellata could be the one!

Being in the fig (ficus) family, the Umbellata is of African origin but has popularity in Japanese culture as a houseplant.

This newcomer has some similar features to the Fiddle Leaf Fig, with large, heart-shaped leaves and thin stems. So if you’ve tried (or failed) growing a Fiddle, maybe it’s time to move on to the next big Fig.

Below is a picture of what they CAN look like after growing a while. In the comments, there is a picture of what they look like right now.

Fellow plant geeks... some new cool plants have just arrived!

08/05/2021

What a beautiful arrangement made by Cindy! Perfect color combination and those purple and white lisianthus in front? Those were grown right here by your resident plant geeks!

07/31/2021

Fan of the raInbow rose? We have those too!

07/31/2021

Pretty summer blooms... lisianthus, delphinium, bachelor buttons, sunflowers, roses... we got 'em all!

07/29/2021

I just have way too much fun filling these little critters.

07/29/2021

When I ordered these they were supposed to be Nanouk, but when they arrived they were tagged as Bubblegum Violet. I don't know what the difference is, but they sure are pretty!

Look what we finally got! Bubblegum Lilac Tradescantia! Isn't it pretty?!

07/29/2021

So many nice new plants!

SALE! All annuals in packs now $2.50! We've got tons of marigolds & gazanias, some dusty miler, coleus, zinnias, celosia, portulaca, salvia and other odds and ends. Most 4" pots now $2.50! We have angelonia, osteospermum, scaveola, lobularia & more. All geraniums now $3.50 each.
You still have more than 2 months to enjoy beautiful flowers in your back yard. Now's the time to go wild and plant more for those extra spaces that need color or to replace things that are looking a little sad.

The second batch of lifesaver plants has arrived! I have 13 saved for people and about 8 to sell to whoever comes first come, first serve. None of them are blooming at the moment, but I researched them a bit more and they seem to be similar to a lot of blooming plants that start blooming in early fall (October) and continue through early spring (March/April). Of course, we know they don't follow an exact schedule since we've had some blooming last week!
Come get them folks!
If you asked us to save you one, please let us know when you come in so we can cross you off the list. I have information pages to go with each one so make sure you get one of those too.

07/21/2021

UPDATE ON LIFESAVER PLANTS!
1. We still have 7 plants from the first batch that have not been picked up. If your name is on the list, please try to pick up soon or let us know when or if you're coming for them.
2. The 2nd batch of lifesavers were due yesterday (Tuesday) but they did not arrive. They won't be here until NEXT TUESDAY AFTERNOON. Sorry for the delay.

So many plants, so many choices!
