Because plants have long been jealous of our ability to live indoors, they attempt to infiltrate our finest mansions and universities by slowly climbing stony facades. Visit a place built specifically to contain these floral strivers with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of plants and gardening products at Burkard Nurseries, located in Pasadena. This Groupon is not valid for landscaping services, phone orders, gift cards, labor, delivery, or planting.

For 73 years, family-owned Burkard Nurseries has provided plants, gardening products, and expert cultivation advice to gardeners of the Los Angeles region. The nursery has a vast inventory of flowering things, including citrus trees, flowering plants, and exotic bulb specimens. With the arrival of autumn—also known as winter's hired muscle—impending, Burkard Nurseries' horticultural staff will help you cultivate your fenced-in fall foliage. Refresh summer's planting beds with new two-cubic LGM planting mix ($15 each) or two-cubic LGM potting soil ($17 each), or introduce new flowers into your garden, such as standard roses ($35) or their extreme-adventure-loving cousins, climbing roses ($55). Thanksgiving re-enactors can prepare for upcoming simulations with a cornucopia of vegetables ($3–$5 each), such as broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, beets, cabbage, onions, and brussels sprouts. A variety of cool-weather annuals, including varieties of sweet peas, pansies, and young cyclamen, are available for those looking to fill out the garden below their treehouse fortress, and a variety of 4” herbs ($5–$7 each) and shrubs ($15+) rounds out horticultural dream teams.
