Pot Plant Hoop house
The “Plant-Hoop” is a simple, low-cost greenhouse designed to be used in conjunction with a hoop house. It can easily be moved from one location to another and has been successfully used for the last ten years as an alternative to the more expensive permanent greenhouses.
The Plant Hops have proven themselves over the years, and we are confident that they will continue to do so. We recommend them to anyone who wants to grow plants year-round but does not wish to invest in a permanent structure. They also make great gifts.
Bee Brick
If you’re stumped for Christmas gifts, this could be the one. The Bee Brick is an innovative design that encourages people to protect pollinators.
The concrete blocks are designed to hold soil and plant roots, allowing bees to build nests without fear of being crushed.

The Bee Brick is manufactured in England by Green & Blue, a firm founded by husband and wife team James and Claire Pritchard.
James is a landscape architect, and Claire is a horticulturist. Having noticed how much damage was being done to natural habitats across the country during their travels, the couple decided something needed to be done about it.
