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.

Because our inventory is in constant flux, we do business on a strictly seasonal basis. For Spring we start taking orders in January. This 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 them 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 2008 shipping season runs from late February to April 30, 2008, weather and plant growth permitting. We grow all of our plants in containers, and we do not hold them in cold storage. In our mild southern New Jersey location, most plants are early to break dormancy and cannot be shipped safely to distant points after early April. Therefore, orders to be shipped over 500 miles should be received by April 9th. Local orders and orders to nearby states can usually be shipped safely until late April. For Fall shipments, please order from our Fall plant listings, which will be posted in August.

You’re invited to visit us during our Open Days. We think you’ll enjoy seeing our many unusual plants close up, and you can also purchase plants on the spot. For dates, please click on the Calendar on the left.
