Findings from The Museum Store

While the inside of The Museum Store may feel a little quieter with the currently reduced capacity (max. 5 guests at a time), the pace of seasonal planning remains busy and vibrant. While I am busy placing orders for merchandise related to the colder seasons to come, our current displays are full of summer color.

Some of the most popular items of the season can be found outside our front door for easy browsing. Our horticultural staff has been keeping our outdoor display of assorted live plants fully stocked; Pollinator Perennials are $4.95 and Potted Peony Divisions are $24.95. Raised in our teaching greenhouse, these hardy plants are neonicotinoid and pesticide-free - as well as non-invasive options - for a pollinator-friendly habitat garden for years to come.

Preserve some of those lovely summer blooms, like the Lincoln daughters might have done, with a wooden flower press, available in two sizes. Pollinators are a lasting favorite among all our guests and staff alike. Get inspired by Gardening for Butterflies or bring them indoors with organic, washed, cotton linen Monarch Butterfly napkins and Pollinator Garden towels from designer june & december.
