Because plants have long been jealous of our ability to live indoors, they attempt to infiltrate our finest mansions and universities by slowly climbing stony facades. Witness lavish interior trinkets turn the tables by overtaking the Birmingham Botanical Gardens with today's deal: for $5, you get one general admission to the fifth annual Antiques at the Gardens event. The three-day fete commences on Friday, October 1, and runs through Sunday, October 3, with special lectures scheduled each day (attend lectures for an additional fee at the door).

Birmingham Botanical Gardens' renowned chlorophyll cache spans 67.5 lush, verdant acres and 20 thematic gardens, with the sweet floral fragrances wafting even further. Plant your nose in the thick of it for an entire weekend during the Antiques at the Gardens event. Each year, the festival draws dozens of premier dealers from across the country, showcasing fine furniture, antique silver, ornate jewelry, paintings, lighting fixtures, china pieces, gently used dentures, Oriental rugs, and more. Foresighted gift givers can use the stellar stock to get a head start on this year's holiday shopping, and the notoriously tardy can seize the opportunity to reverse their reputation of bashful belatedness.

Take a short break from browsing to recalibrate your sense of taste over a gourmet box lunch (served 11 a.m.–2 p.m. at The Gardens Café), or swap out your shopping spectacles for a pair of listening lenses and head to a special lecture. Though food and lecture costs are not covered by this Groupon, you'll grin gregariously knowing that all proceeds from this event go to support educational programs such as Discovery Field Trips, Horticultural Therapy, and family classes.

The Groupon Guide to: Words for Snow

Folk wisdom suggests that cultures living in particularly wintry climates may have hundreds of words for snow. Don't get stuck using substandard synonyms when describing your next bout of Christmassy precipitation—just pull a moniker from this handy list:

  • Cloud dandruff
  • Santa sand
  • Ice Cube Nano
  • Soft, silent white bullets
  • Rain Jr.
  • Cranston's Brand Soluble Soap Flakes—Now safe for homes!
  • Tears in Heaven
  • Ice confetti
  • Frosted Flakes
  • School-canceling sky shurikens
  • The Ice Cream of the Future
  • Tiny, shivering baby rabbits, if you'd just look close enough
  • Sleet?

Is sleet just frozen snow?
