Spring has sprung at the Stillwater Farm Store.
Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to help gardens bloom. From seeds to décor, there are endless options for gifting loved ones with the spirit of the season. We asked two local store owners—Rebecca Kolls of the Stillwater Farm Store and Alecia Enger of My Sister’s Garden in Hudson—for gifts fit for gardeners.
ANNUALS
A store favorite. Enger recommends the jumbo six-pack of mixed specialty annuals that are fitted in a beautiful container to create special spots within a garden. $11.99, My Sister’s Garden
BIRD FEED
“We hand-blend our own bird feed,” Kolls says. “It’s a great gift for someone moving into a new home.” Prices vary, Stillwater Farm Store
FRESH-CUT FLOWERS
Want to spread springtime, but don’t know anyone with a garden? Fresh-cut flowers are “a simple way to give something colorful and beautiful. It’s a gift everyone appreciates,” Enger says. $5, My Sister’s Garden

A colorful garden attracts bees—and that’s a good thing. The natural pollinators allow a variety of plants to blossom. $22, Stillwater Farm Store
CORINTHIAN BELLS WIND CHIME
A favorite of music lovers, each wind chime one produces a specific harmony with perfect pitch. $60–$120, Stillwater Farm Store.
