Are nicer than ever, thank you. And we're making and shipping them all around the country starting this Spring, thanks to a new contact with Siskoyu Rare Plant Nursery in Medford, Oregon. Also, both Vaughan's Nursery Division and Witman's Nursery Brokers represent about 185 wholesale nurseries around the US, and they sell to several thousand retail garden centers and nurseries. They are now representing us also. Busy times indeed.
On the West Coast, where planted Trough Gardens are all the rage and very expensive items (selling unplanted for $500-$1,000), gardeners now get together and have "Trough-Casting Parties" and a week or so later, a follow-up "Trough- Planting Party". Elegant ideas, to be sure.
These are just some of the things that the Gardening Elite enjoy and it's time you joined the fun, too. Get your order in for one now, while they're still affordable.
Little Gems.
Plants So Exquisite For Trough Gardens, Rockeries& Scree Gardens,
That Most People Have Never Seen Their Likes Before.
Sometimes, when smaller in scale, the better appear. And all the more exquisite in appearance and function. Ditto for plants and flowers in miniature scale. Delicate and dainty, yet hardy to -50 degrees F, they live easily in our Zone 6b.
We offer these very special and rare plants to you from Oregon, Montana and Washington for your own Planted Gardens with the knowledge and foresight that you will use them wisely. Other expert gardeners will marvel at your skill in acquiring and growing these rare gems. Their inherent beauty and diversity will absolutely stun you and everyone who sees them in your garden. They're so unusual and spectacular.
Over 106 varieties are now available, ranging from Androsace to Trillium, some in very limited quantities due to their earthly rarity. Combined with our 75 cultivars of rare and unusual miniature conifers, Alpine Trough Gardens, Rockeries and Scree Gardens are now an easy reality for you. Another of the many firsts by this Garden Center & Nursery.
