Easter Baskets


When I was I kid, my favorite holiday was Easter. How could you not? It had the candy of Halloween, the trinkets and toys of a Christmas stocking, and adorable bunnies, all wrapped up in a pretty package with a giant pastel bow.

Here at McArdle's, we have lots of options when it comes to creating and filling a perfect basket for anyone (our gourmet milk chocolate bunnies are especially delicious).

For children's baskets, we have child-sized garden tools avalible in bright colors in the gardenshop, as well as seed kits that result in a "Magical Fairy Garden" and butterfly garlands to decorate with. My absolute favorite item this year might be the stuffed hare we have. You can see him in the back of the basket above.



For those looking to send a floral gift, we have a fantastic selection of plant baskets desgined and ready to be delivered. Right now, I'm loving the flowering bulbs we have blooming in the greenhouse. Give us a call at 201-661-5600 or email me at molly@mcardles.com to find out what blooming plants we have in stock today - new shipments arrive on a daily basis and is always changing!



Outside, we have fabulous cast-stone baskets pre-planted with pansies, bulbs and/or hardy perenials, ready to be enjoyed on a front porch or back steps - with a cast-stone bunny to match. Just as pretty as the baskets my mother made me when I was growing up, but without any of the candy calories!



Already have a great pot or basket but are loving the combinations we have? Email me at molly@mcardles.com so we can help it look it's best!

Happy Spring!
