It might be so gray and cold today at the Delaware Beaches, but if you want to see some color and get into the Christmas Spirit, take a Drive to Milton, Delaware….just about 20 minutes away from the Delaware Beaches, where Pepper’s Greenhouses are warm and cozy…stroll through the isles and get ideas for your holiday decorations.

Pepper’s Greenhouses are located at 13034 Cedar Creek Rd., Milton, DE 19968.  Tel. 302-684-8092.  They close on Tuesdays but Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday they are open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.  On Sundays they open from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.  Website?  http://www.accentsforhomeandgardens.com.  Find them on Facebook:  Pepper’s Greenhouses or Accents for Home and Gardens.  Online business?  Yes do have it.  This is a family business, operating since 1985.

The Greenhouses change with the season.  During the summer months there is a lot going on outdoors, as well.  At this time, it is mainly indoors unless trees and shrubbery is what you are looking for.

Their poinsettias are gorgeous.  All sizes, colors and variations.  Hard to make a decision.

Pepper’s Greenhouses have pots, baskets and their staff is so helpful.  Add a bow, making the containers look just right for gift giving.

Poinsettias are indigenous to Mexico and Central America.  They were introduced in the U.S. in 1825.  I am from Puerto Rico and they do love the weather there.  They are trees flowering at different times of the year.

Pepper’s Greenhouses have forever wreaths and Holiday decorations.  Don’t have that touch?  They can help.

Fresh wreaths and garlands are also available, while they last.

Other popular plants like lilies, the easy to take care of cyclamen and violets are available this time of the year.

So, if you are tired of fighting the shoppers in town, now you know where to go and get away for a little visual relaxation.

Have a great Small Business Saturday!!

Pepper’s Greenhouses….13034 Cedar Creek Rd., Milton, DE 19968.  Tel. 302-684-8092.  Well, I will give you my Sussex County directions:  From Rehoboth Beach go north on Rt. 1 or Coastal Highway, turn left on Rt. 16 west.  Drive for a few miles and when you get to the stop sign in Milton, where the Food Lion is, turn right and immediately turn left.  Follow that road for less than a mile and the Pepper’s will be on your left.  That easy and worth a trip to the greenhouses.

This is a family operated busines.  They have been doing so since 1985.  They also have online shopping and shipping within the United States.  Visit http://www.accentsforhomeandgarden.com.  They only close on Tuesdays at this time of the year.  On Facebook you can find them two ways:  Pepper’s Greenhouse or Accents for Home and Garden.

Pepper’s takes a complete different aura in the Fall.  Just like anywhere else it is a bit more quiet….well, let me correct myself.  More quiet everywhere else unless you are Sea-Witching in Rehoboth Beach, or ghost hunting in Lewes….Those 2 Delaware Beaches do not stop year-round.

Pepper’s greenhouses looked beautiful the other day.  The weather is cooperating so if you still have some planting to do, take a drive over.  Plenty of cabbages, and winter pansies.

Strolling the greenhouses I found pineapples!!

The poinsettias are slowly turning waiting their turn!!

Pepper’s offers plenty accents for the home and garden.  They also have ready made arrangements and a “forever” section of flowers…silks, etc. etc.

It is going to be beautiful today!!  Check it out!
