Get surrounded by pre-emptive bunny bait with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of flowers, plants, and garden accessories at Whispering Pine Garden Center & Florist in Yorktown Heights.

Whispering Pine corralls chlorophyll-filled greenery in a 22-acre floral facility. A member of Whispering Pine's landscape service department can help design a backyard portrait of Busby Berkeley starting with a winding line of boxwoods ($35+ each). Or, green thumbs can pick up colorful Alfresco pottery ($16.95+) to weigh down plants and then can confuse rocks with cast-stone Campania statuaries ($14.50+) that seem kind of like them, but are actually not.

Whispering Pine's four greenhouses sprout homegrown mums, poinsettias, and other blooms ($5.95+), and the online delivery service Teleflora ships Whispering Pine’s artful flower arrangements to the vases, mantels, and altars of tulip worshipers all around the world.
