Most vegetable plants are in 3 1/2” pots, some are in 4” pots, and later in the season there may be tomatoes in 6” pots. We can also gather any plants you’d like, charge your credit card and take them to your car, but we ask for your patience as we are short staffed through this crisis. You’ll read your card number to the cashier who will take your name and phone number in lieu of your signature. If there are people ahead of you continue to maintain the 6’ distance. Please go into the greenhouse and stand behind the red line to be checked out. When you have everything you want we’ll write down prices and you’ll go to check out. Gather the plants you would like to purchase and place them by your car. Please be aware of everyone around you, and remember this is for others health as well as your own. We ask all of you to maintain the 6’ distancing between others at all time. Our social distancing is being strictly enforced. This post serves as the list of most of the vegetables and herbs we carry, but please be aware that availabilities and amounts of plants in stock can change quickly from one day to another. Because of the threat of COVID-19, quite a few people have asked if we could list the vegetable and herb plants that we have in stock at any given time. The last month has been like nothing we’ve ever seen in our 30 years in business.

Be prepared to deadhead faded blooms at least weekly and clip back your planting as needed. No matter how small your planting starts out, with proper care it may grow to enormous proportions. What color is your house? What trees and shrubs will be in bloom at various times? Do you entertain at night? What are your favorite colors? Are you there to maintain and water regularly? Think about the setting the planter is in. An example: A black elephant ear (thriller), sunpatiens (filler), scaevola (spiller). This is the tried and true Thriller, Filler, Spiller recipe. Add intermediate or “filler” plants, then complete the picture with a trailing or “spiller” selection. Use at least one eye catcher or “thriller”.
An example: A spiky grass, a round pentas, an airy euphorbia, a trailing vinca.īigger planters call for bigger plants. Begin by choosing it, then add some flowers to compliment the color or shape of the leaves. Make it even more interesting and add a foliage for additional texture or color. An example: A spiky salvia, rounded blooms of zinnias, flatter blooms of lantana. If you want a pot filled only with flowers, choose blooms with different shapes for added interest. Plants that want sun won’t perform well in shade and vice versa. Wherever they end up we hope they give you as much pleasure as they’ve given us creating them. Some find their way onto our Facebook and Instagram pages, others make their way to new homes. So, while our neatly lined tables are still filled with a good assortment of varied plants, you’ll also find our container plantings in various spots throughout the nursery too.
We enjoy this time too (Since we’re all pretty much plantaholics!) and look on it as our play time with plantings, a reward for making it through another hectic spring season. Many of them come to see the planters we’ve put together, getting ideas for extra pots or to make note of a different combination of plants they might not have thought of. Now that summer is here though, the pace is slower with fewer questions as more people slowly stroll the nursery for pleasure, picking up the odd plant here and there or gathering more varied selections for filling in garden spaces that need extra color. Flowers, herbs, perennials, shrubs, and vegetables are all players in the annual game of “What will grow in this spot?” or “What can I plant in this pot?”. Spring is for planting in the garden and in pots.
