The DEAL at Harper’s Nursery

Part of being featured on Groupon is a personalized write-up on your business in Groupon’s trademark wacky brand of humor. Here’s what Groupon subscribers saw the morning of Harper’s deal:
Today’s deal offers a helpful reminder that Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, etc. often take place in winter — a fact easily forgotten when you live in Phoenix. For $20, you’ll get $40 worth of the finest greenery, including holiday seasonal plants and Christmas trees, from Harper’s Nursery & Landscape Company, voted Best Nursery by the Phoenix New Times in 2009 and soon to be voted Best Robot-Plant Nursery by the Phoenix New Times in 2099. This Groupon is valid at both convenient Harper’s locations in Mesa and Scottsdale.

To give your home a wintry feel, a well-placed seasonal holiday plant often proves an affordable alternative to renting dozens of snow generators. Harper’s poinsettias (you can follow their progress on Harper’s nursery blog) range from $10 and up depending on size, while Christmas trees average $75. Besides being more fun to decorate than the traditional Christmas cactus, Christmas trees are also safer for small children and pets.

… While every plant nursery grows plants (or nurses grown from plants), only Harper’s provides three generations worth of Harper family genius with every plant genus. The family-owned establishment has helped stain Phoenix’s thumbs green since 1945 with its gardening tips and landscaping services. A visit to Harper’s will score you top-quality plants for the season and the know-how you’ll need to grow your own the rest of the year.
