We are thrilled to announce a new product at Upper Village Blooms --Backyard Candles!

Backyard Candles is very close to our ideal company —somewhat local in South Windsor, CT and with the deeply held conviction that we all share a collective Backyard. This sense of community is the cornerstone of their commitment to the stewardship of our planet.

Backyard Candles are handmade using all natural soy and coconut waxes, cotton or wood wicks, and pure therapeutic grade essential oils. Made with materials that that are up-cycled, recycled, renewable, or can be reused, and their packaging is also 100% recyclable.

We now stock their coconut candles in 8 scents! The coconuts are made from up-cycled coconut shells (a waste product that is typically burned). In several different sizes and fragrances, you will have a difficult time choosing just one. Backyard Candles offers 53 candle fragrances —we also had to limit ourselves to seasonally perfect scents.

The half-shell coconuts float in water and are essential for self-care these days. The outdoor Citronella and Lemongrass candles are available in a standing coconut cup and are burnable outside. Come in and sample these divine fragrances!

Lastly, 5% of the purchase price is donated to environmental causes.
