The Greenhouse at
Reilly's Garden Center
Thinking About Christmas?
Probably not...but if your church is looking for a local grower to add holiday cheer to the worship area, or if a few poinsettias are needed to brighten up the office or to be given as gifts to co-workers or employees now is the time to act. I know it is only August, but the sooner Christmas poinsettia orders for home, church or business, are submitted the better. The best selection and lowest price can be obtained in August. Call 412-364-8270 and ask Andrea, our Greenhouse Manager, about prices and sizes.
Current Happenings
Exciting new departments for you to shop, gifts your friends need (it’s good for them, really), and some of the ways you are Going Green and saving energy…and didn’t even know it!
If it has been a while since you have come to visit us, you are missing out! Now you finally have a place to shop for unusual tropical plants and houseplants as well as all your old time favorites. 
Step away from Pittsburgh’s dreary winter days and visit a tropical oasis (at least that is how I feel when I’m here, and I’m at work!). The selection is sure to beat any box store. Do you want something special, something you’ve never seen before? Then you have got to see Stromanthe Tristar. The foliage boasts dark green, cream, and fuchsia variegations that make a wonderful addition to any room.
Don’t you just love when someone remembers you are a gardener and brings you that perfect gift? Well, so do your friends! What better way to show you care than to bring them the gift of flowers? A recent study has shown that when people receive plants or flowers they react with a genuine smile. That means you really have brightened someone’s day! We are nurturing seasonal gifts in a range of prices. It is just the thing to brighten those last couple gloomy days before spring.
The future is green…Are you helping? Of course you are! It seems that all of us are a little more cautious of our ‘carbon footprint’ these days. Here are some of the ways we are trying to do our part.
- Energy blankets in the greenhouse helps keep the warm air close to our plants and cut down on natural gas use
- Heated floors keep a constant 60 degree temp, places heat down where the plants are located; energy use is reduced.
- Biological controls (good bugs) help control pest w/out the use toxic chemicals.
- IPM pest and disease scouting to catch the problems before they get out of control thus avoiding those scary chemicals.
- Fiber pots decompose quickly and eliminate plastic in our landfills and your potting shed; they also are a great addition to your compost pile.
- Instead of ordering new pots this year we are recycling all of our old pots and making the effort to switch to peat or natural fiber pots…stay tuned for next year’s new pots!
