Without plants, there would be no oxygen and nothing to prevent bunnies from discovering that humans taste delicious. Bolster your safety garden with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of gardening supplies at Timothy’s Center for Gardening in Robbinsville. Green-thumbed Groupon holders should seek out their garden goods by May 7, 2011.

Family owned and operated since 1965, Timothy’s Center for Gardening supplies local seed enthusiasts with a smorgasbord of plant, gardening, and landscaping options. Feast foliage-loving eyes on an array of annuals and imagine how they could splash color onto bland post-winter palettes, or stock up on fertilizers to feed lush lawns and keep flowers flourishing. Change the sheets on old flower beds with a bag of cedar mulch ($43.20), or coax shy sprouts into confidently raising their heads by treating them to a fresh layer of topsoil ($30). Landscaping lovers can decorate driveways or prettify patios with cubes of grey or pink belgium block ($1.29–$4.99 each), and an array of whimsical stone creatures such as elves, angels, and fairies help add mythical allure until your porchside cement trap nabs you the real thing.

Timothy’s Garden Center is conveniently located on Route 130, just outside Princeton and Trenton, allowing easy access for intrepid seed seekers and fairy-tale refugees hoping to trade a cow for three beans. The stock changes weekly, so stop by often to sniff out the frequently refreshed annuals and perennials or solicit the advice of the staff of gardening experts.
