September Plant List
The September Plant Availability List is here. What’s missing? A whole bunch of shade and woodland plants that either went dormant early (or possibly died) in the heat or that look so bad I won’t offer them for sale. Let’s hope most of them come back for next spring. What’s new? American spikenard (Aralia racemosa)… Continue reading September Plant List

Seeds 2024
Over the winter, the nursery has moved from Bristol, Quebec, to Eganville, Ontario. We plan to be open for business selling plants at the new location sometime in May, 2024. What with all the kerfuffle of moving, I have been very late in packaging seeds and there are somewhat fewer species for sale than in… Continue reading Seeds 2024

Thanks to all the wonderful customers who braved the heat (on Saturday) and the smoke (on Sunday) to make our two day sale event, Natives and Clay, a resounding success.

There will be some plants on sale at our exciting new event, Natives and Clay this coming week-end. Dwarf Arctic Iris has been lovely this relatively cool spring, but I have too much of it.
