Dear Plant Thief,

I hope you are enjoying your 12 beautiful “new-to-you” drought resistant stonecrop succulent plants. I’m certain that they are a lovely addition to your yard, and really look snazzy next to your other “borrowed” landscaping.

Trust me, they are easy to care for, not much maintenance, and environmentally friendly during the hot/dry summers in Hays, KS. This low growing succulent ground cover attracts beautiful butterflies, and looks stunning next to peonies or rose bushes. I too have impeccable taste when it comes to landscaping and choosing just the right plants for my yard, but I’m a stickler for ALWAYS buying my own plants!

I had 12 similar stonecrop succulent plants in my front yard that I planted with my two young sons over the last three years, but while I was on vacation last week they were stolen from my yard. Hmmm, weird!!

Just in case you are interested in PURCHASING YOUR OWN PLANTS, there is this fabulous place called the Hays Greenhouse:
1-70 & Toulon Road, Hays, KS 67601

They have gorgeous plants, helpful staff, and thousands of more plants to pick from then what you can find in my front yard. I know that you can’t beat the rock bottom prices in my front yard, but just in case you’d like to garden during daylight hours, lower your bad juju levels, and/or not be arrested I highly recommend a quick trip out to the Hays Greenhouse and BUY YOUR OWN PLANTS!

Hopefully your “new-to-you” landscaping doesn’t become infested with aphids and you don’t have gut wrenching guilt when you cast an eye over “your” new plants. When your neighbors walk by and comment on your beautiful landscaping (like people used to do when they walked past my front yard), be sure to let them know that they’re stolen and that the nice woman who lives on 23rd St. has exemplary taste in plants.

P.S. Should you have a conscience, please feel free to leave replacements on my front porch, and then NEVER step foot on my property again! Thank you.
