The Winter Market at Kennedy’s
Sundays 11-3 all winter long in Greenhouse #4, you can join us for Kennedy’s Winter Market. It is the only weekly market of its kind in the area. Many local vendors are lined up and excited to setup each Sunday in the warmth of the greenhouses and out of the winter elements. The Winter Market at Kennedy’s will run each Sunday until March 25. Please attend regularly and stock up for the week and support local agriculture, arts and more!
Winter Event at Kennedy’s
Mark your calender for Saturday February 25. We are finalizing plans to have Kennedy’s annual winter event. The last few years we have called it Winter Fest. We have decided to give it a new name. If you have an ideas for the new name, we are offering a $40 gift certificate to the first person that emails us the idea we eventually use for the new name. This years event will be focused on gardening all day Saturday and some of the festivities may carry over to our Winter Market that we host every Sunday. Stay posted here or sign up for Kennedy’s E-news or our “like” our Facebook page to keep current on the latest events at Kennedy’s.
Boston Flower & Garden Show
Spring is coming! The Boston Flower & Garden Show runs March 14-18 at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston. This year’s show theme is “First Impressions”. Tickets are available at the door, on the show website and in the garden center at Kennedy’s. We recommend getting the tickets in advance to avoid lines at the door. The show always features some amazing displays and a terrific selection of garden and outdoor related lectures and activities. You might even see our own Chris Kennedy doing one of the lectures!
Why Houseplants?
There are a lot of beautiful large homes on the South Shore, but one of the things I have noticed to be absent in a lot of these homes is houseplants. It is true most people do not have a lot of time to care for plants, never mind taking care of kids, cleaning, cooking, soccer games, church, etc. So it makes sense houseplants do not get high on the priority list. However, there are a lot of benefits, some mental and others biological. NASA has done studies on houseplants. In fact, plants inside the home or office are very beneficial. Not only are they pretty and cheerful to look at, they also take pollutants and harmful CO2 out of the air. 
According to Wikipedia, CO2 is known to cause people to lose productivity in the office. Guessing that happens in the home too? For the most part, if you match your conditions with the correct plants, house plants can be very easy to care for. We hear stories all the time of how many years and in some instances generations people have managed to kept their houseplants going. Let our experts at Kennedy’s match up the right houseplants with your conditions. The rewards will make you breath deep!
