All Weather Column
Stetsonia Coryne

This beautiful column was originally from the Andes Mountains of northwestern Argentina. Given its origins, it can tolerate weather extremes including cold, rain, snow and drought. It is a perfect column cactus for areas with less than favorable weather. In habitat it even thrives in hard packed clay soil. The stetsonia has an incredible night-blooming flower which is about 6-inches long. As this plant grows, it puts out offshoot branches, sometimes resembling a saguaro cactus. We think you'll love these hardy columns. Each column is between 8-12 inches tall, fully rooted.

The Agave
Queen Regina Variagata
is one of the most rare of agaves. Virtually impossible to find in commercial quantities.

Agave Queen Regina Variagata

Try finding this one anywhere else! The agave Queen Regina Variagata is exceptionally difficult to find, particularly in this size. The plants are about three years old (they grow slowly). Each plant is approximately 5-6 inches in diameter.

At plant shows, the few variagatas of this size that make it to the market sell in the $100+ range. Ours are priced at $55.95. For serious collectors and agave fans, this one is a must.

Ultimate Garden Bench
bench 3.JPG (200002 bytes)
This is the essential rustic Craftsman-style garden bench for cactus, succulent and other plants (or for sitting). We've used them for years in our greenhouse and yard and had so many requests from friends and relatives that we decided to make them available for sale. They are the perfect way to showcase your plants.

Construction is 100% wood -- no fillers or composition board. The legs are beefy 4x6 lumber held together with screws, glue and metal brakets, even our kids can't damage these benches and they play on them all the time. The bench is 60 inches (5 feet) wide, 14 inches deep and 19 inches high. Weighing about 70 lbs., this is a substantial piece of furniture, not a lightweight IKEA-like piece. Our benches are sold unfinished as pictured here. A dark brown color stain (shown here in the background) can be applied for an additional fee.

The bench is shipped with the two leg assemblies fully assembled and the top boards pre-cut and sanded. To complete your bench, you simply stand the legs parallel and screw or nail  on the top boards. We provide the hardware, it takes a couple of minutes. If you purchase unfinished, we recommend paint, varnish or stain to protect the wood.

SHIPPING IS $45.00 per bench via FedEx Ground

Unfinished Wood Garden Bench $119.95

Dark Brown Stained Garden Bench $139.95
