Welcome to Fairweather Gardens!

Spring 2012

We are mail-order growers of unusual Trees, Shrubs & Perennials, and we strive to send out the best plants that you can order by mail. When you receive plants from us, we think you'll be in for a pleasant surprise if you have previously ordered only from mass merchandisers. We are a small, hands-on nursery, and we do not ship the tiny rooted cuttings or anemic little plantlets you may have received from others. Our plants are ready to set out in your garden and enjoy! We’re located in southern New Jersey, about an hour from Philadelphia, and we ship to all U.S. points east of the Rockies. Because of plant quarantines we cannot ship to other U.S. states or outside of the U.S.A.

Spring catalogue on the way. Our spring print catalogue was mailed out in late January. Please look for it to arrive shortly. Meanwhile, you can browse our listings right here on the website. They're all up to date, and they're the same as in the catalogue. Enter your favorite plant in the Quick Search area, or browse through our A-Z listings from the drop-down menus above.

We're now taking orders for our Spring shipping season. It may seem a bit early, but we grow limited quantities of each plant, and it’s good to get them reserved early on as many plants sell out quickly. We’ll be keeping an eye on your plants until it’s time to ship them to you. We do not grow every plant every year, so if you see it listed and want it, please order it now to avoid disappointment!

Our Spring 2012 shipping season runs from late February to April 30, 2012, weather and plant growth permitting. Please bear in mind that some plants leaf out early and cannot be safely packed and shipped after early April, particularly to more distant points. For Fall shipments, please order from our Fall plant listings, which will be posted in August.

You can visit us and purchase plants in person at our Open Houses. We think you’ll enjoy seeing our many unusual plants close up, and you are welcome to browse and purchase at that time. For dates, please check our Calendar.

It's easy to contact us by email, fax, or regular mail. You may also phone us during business hours, Monday-Friday, 8-12 and 1-5, Eastern Time. We’re often out in the nursery, but you can leave a message, and we’ll get back to you shortly. We look forward to hearing from you.
