Dog Days Sales of August

The first weekend of August all the stores in Mid-City (14th and U Street, NW) will participate in a weekend-long sidewalk sale. It is an annual event not to be missed. You'll find great deals and have a lot of fun at the same time as it can get kind of crazy... Go to http://www.14thandu.org for more details.

The Dog Days Sales is the biggest sale of the year we have at Garden District. Annuals will be marked down 50%, perennials 40%, trees and shrubs 30%, pottery 30%, fertilizers, mulch and tools 20%.

The summer annuals will still bloom until about the first frost, but your perennials, trees, and shrub will continue to live on and thrive in your garden. The Dog Days Sale is a great time to fill up the garden and make it nice.

In addition, the DC Sales Tax Holiday will be August 5-13th. Another great reason to shop in DC next weekend. Although, this will apply to mostly clothing and school supplies. It will apply, however, to garden gloves and hats...

See you at the sale.

Summer Sales

Summer is a great time to fill in a lot of garden space on a budget.

Every year July 4th starts summer sales at Garden District. Today we are on a holiday schedule open 9:00am to 4:00pm.

Now through the rest of summer you can find almost everything in the store at least 20% percent off. And ask us about free delivery. If you live in the area and purchase over $250, we can deliver to you.

The best deal of the season, however, is always on perennials. Sale perennials may be past "retail quality" and past their bloom time, but don't let this stop you. Perennials are tough and rejuvenate once planted, and best of all, come back year after year. Check tags for bloom times and plant requirements, plan and plant accordingly.

Annuals are on sale too and will bloom and provide color now until the first frost. You still have plenty of time to enjoy them. See everything that is on sale on our website. Click on coupons.
