The nursery was established in 1989. While the focus of the catalog is on hardy roses, the nursery, which is open daily April to October, offers many shrubs, perennials, ornamental, fruit & shade trees, vines & evergreen.

The farm was established in 1996 and includes both nursery and fruit for PYO.  We have all but eliminated harmful pesticides from our production, relying on natural & bio-control instead. As part of the long-standing commitment to our customers we have installed display gardens, adding more each year.

We offer custom organic plant food. This is a great product, which benefits all flowering plants: perennials, annuals & shrubs. It has long lasting activity in the soil – one or two applications per season, enhance soil bioactivity and addresses safety & environmental concerns.

Our fruit and vegetables are certified organic, but even more important they are locally grown.
