We were honored to welcome the Journey of Hope cyclists back to PSNI again this year! 🚴‍♂️

Every year, we look forward to spending the day with them at the Elks Golf Club, enjoying amazing pulled pork from Bruno at The Klondike, dancing, socializing, and making memories together.

It was a wonderful day for everyone, and we are so grateful for this special tradition.

The 55-mile journey to Sandpoint was a breeze for the Journey of Hope Trans-America team, who cycled in on Thursday from Coeur d’Alene for a friendship visit with Panhandle Special Needs Inc.

Well, friends, we're down to the final stretch.

PSNI's Greenhouse will be open through Wednesday, June 10, 10am-6pm, and we're asking for your help to send these plants off to good homes before we close our doors. As of Thursday, June 11, the greenhouse will officially be closed for the season.

Every remaining plant, herb, vegetable start, and hanging basket is now 20% off. The shelves are looking lighter every day, but there's still plenty of beautiful, healthy plants waiting for someone to take them home. All plants must go!

And here's the best part: When you shop at the greenhouse, you're doing more than buying plants. Every dollar spent supports PSNI's programs, helping provide training, employment opportunities, and life skills development for adults with disabilities in our community.

Whether you've been shopping with us for years or have been meaning to stop by all season, now is the time. Help us clear the greenhouse, stock your garden, and support a mission that changes lives.

Located at 1424 N. Boyer, just north of Super 1, in Sandpoint.

Let's make these final days as successful as our first!

See you soon!

PSNI’s Greenhouse is still open, and there’s plenty to choose from. Whether you’re getting your yard ready for graduation parties, filling planters, or finally tackling those garden beds, we’ve got you covered.

We have beautiful red and white flowers available for graduation, plus new perennials and shade baskets just arrived. Looking for veggies or herbs? We got em. And those cute windmill planters and planter boxes, we just got some more!

Every purchase does more than brighten your yard — it helps support PSNI programs while providing meaningful hands-on training opportunities for our participants. Shopping local truly makes a difference here.

Location: The Greenhouse at 1424 N. Boyer, Sandpoint. Just north of Super 1, between the two railroad tracks.

Greenhouse Hours:
Monday: 10–4
Tuesday: 10–6
Wednesday: 10–6
Thursday: 10–4
Friday: 10–6
Saturday/Sunday: 10–4

Come see what’s still growing at PSNI before the season winds down.

A big thank you to our Giving Week sponsors for supporting PSNI and the people we serve. We couldn't have done this without you.

🌸 Mother’s Day is THIS Sunday! 🌸

Which means the annual “Oh no… I forgot to get Mom something” season has officially begun. 😂

Lucky for you, PSNI has beautiful Hanging Baskets ready to save the day!

Nothing says:
“Thanks for raising me”
like flowers that are alive, colorful, and didn’t come from aisle 7 next to windshield washer fluid. 😅

Stop by PSNI before Sunday and grab Mom something she’ll actually love! 🌺
