As some of you know, in the past year 2 vehicles have driven into our shop walls in 2 separate incidences. Fast forward to today ⏩ in an effort to understand what we as a business can do to help improve pedestrian safety in our district, we have gotten involved with the STW neighborhood steering group. If you live, work, or visit this district (that includes you if you shop with us!), please help out our efforts by providing your feedback in this important survey! Scroll to "take the survey" and also "add your ideas" to the map! Share with anyone you know who should also take this (quick! important!) survey. Thanks!

Aaaah, we are so excited to share this project with you which launches officially Wednesday, July 31 . For the past few months we've been working on this zine which explains how to grow an avocado plant from a discarded pit. You can buy it in our shop or online: https://thefernseed.com/products/pit-to-plant-indoor-avocado-gardening-zine PLUS, now through August while supplies last, visit our shop and get your own squiggly little rooted avocado pit start from our plant cuttings bar for $6.

Can you help this customer? Leave your comments below if you think you know what's going on with this aloe plant. 🙌 Got a plant that's struggling? DM us your photos on Instagram (don't forget to include info about drainage, light, soil and watering schedule) & we'll post to our page to get the group to help diagnose!

Q: Help! What's wrong with my aloe? I have another one that's thriving but this one keeps turning light pink and so many of the bottom leaves turn brown and crispy and fall off. What am I doing wrong? This pot has drainage, it's in a northeast facing window with plenty of light, and I water it every 2-3 weeks.

Today may be a great day for a new plant, but you'll have to buy yours online because our storefront is CLOSED for 4th of July. 🎆 Have fun celebrating and we'll see you in the shop tomorrow when we resume regular hours.
