May 6, 2010In our continuing, though somewhat reluctant, attempts at entering the digital age, we've begun posting photos of the nursery's plants, gardens, people, etc. on this website. Here's a link to the page where they live. Sean has been putting his new digital, yes digital... finally, camera to good use lately. We hope to post more galleries soon, of the nursery, of course, but also some photos from Sean and Nathan's collecting trip to the Siskiyou Mtns. with John Grimshaw in March (read his blog here) as well as a trip collecting manzanitas in California in February.

March 31, 2010Plantsmen extraordinaire Pat McCracken and Barry Yinger have agreed to lead several trips for the "plant-obsessed gardener" from exotic nursery buying in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. to the wild flora and private gardens of New Zealand and Thailand. Can you believe it?! Here's a chance to experience places and sights otherwise unavailable to mere mortals like you and me. We encourage a look at their website for schedules and details.

February 26, 2010Our Spring Mail Order catalog is now "online" with over 200 photos! Next up, figuring out how to send plants directly via email to save on shipping costs... The catalog is also available for download on our PDFs page. As always, don't hesitate to call or email with any questions about the listings or availability.

February 18, 2010Good News! We are very pleased to be providing information about fresh additions to the retail area of our nursery so you see what’s new and exciting as well as look for sthe basics. There are, of course, lots of plants already in retail and not on a list, so please call about availability or to have something set aside for you. And we hope you’ll visit to see all the wonders for yourselves.

For now the lists are downloadable PDF files. You can find all recent lists on our PDFs page, or you can download the latest list here.

While these lists are primarily for retail visitors, we are happy to entertain requests from our mail order customers although we cannot guarantee continuing availability or, for larger plants, the shipping costs.
