Find Inspiration
Display plantings show a variety of concepts:
–plants’ growth habits
–how to mix compatibility
–soil and sun preferences
–color combinations
–various garden styles
–mixing of material
–how plants evolve over the seasons
–what needs pruning and what stays compact
-and so much more!

The display gardens can help you visualize plants in your own landscape. Some gardens have a mixture of plant material including shrubs, dwarf trees, perennial and bulbs all in a relatively small space. There are evergreens grown en masse and allowed to reach their full height. We also have neatly pruned hedges that are examples of living fences.

Visiting the nursery can be a much-needed break from a hectic day. If it is muddy, bring boots as there are no paved roads. Be sure to bring a notebook and camera!
