Visiting Us? One of the world's most unique and unusual Garden Center & Nurseries, nestled in the lush farmland countryside of Southern York County, Pennsylvania, John Shelley's Garden Center & Nursery, is now in its 18th year of operation, has offerings not found anywhere else in North America. We are routinely sought-out by plant collectors, purists, enthusiasts and horticulturalists, for our extensive collections of rare, unusual and hard-to-find plant material — 500+ varieties of Japanese Maples, 900+ cultivars of Conifers, and whole collections of Alpine Conifers & Perennials, Viburnums, Lilacs, Rhododendrons & Azaleas, and many other cultivars of plants not found anywhere else. You're most welcome to visit us, at your convenience; our current hours are posted below. If you have a list of special plant material that you want to purchase, it would be a good idea to either FAX — 717.246.2170 — or email us, well ahead of time. We can then provide availability and pricing, prior to your arrival. It's also a good idea to email or call ahead about our Spring-Summer-Fall Hours. We do occasionally close earlier than 5pm, on stormy, rainy days. Rather than drive a long distance just to be disappointed because we've closed early, please let us know that you're coming to visit, and we'll be sure to stay open, with appropriate GC&N Staff to help you make the right decision, on the right plant, the first time. For those wanting to drive and visit the Garden Center & Nursery, we've included some easy-to-follow directions, a map and our hours of operation.
